I am searching for some cocoa code on AES encryption and I did some google search for it. I found this very useful link - http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2009/02/str
All examples I found didn't work for me, so I changed the solution above. This one works for me and uses the Google-Lib for Base64 stuff:
+ (NSData *)AES256DecryptWithKey:(NSString *)key data:(NSData*)data encryptOrDecrypt:(CCOperation)encryptOrDecrypt {
// 'key' should be 32 bytes for AES256, will be null-padded otherwise
char keyPtr[kCCKeySizeAES256+1]; // room for terminator (unused)
bzero(keyPtr, sizeof(keyPtr)); // fill with zeroes (for padding)
// fetch key data
[key getCString:keyPtr maxLength:sizeof(keyPtr) encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
if (encryptOrDecrypt == kCCDecrypt)
{
data = [GTMBase64 decodeData:data];
}
NSUInteger dataLength = [data length];
//See the doc: For block ciphers, the output size will always be less than or
//equal to the input size plus the size of one block.
//That's why we need to add the size of one block here
size_t bufferSize = dataLength + kCCBlockSizeAES128;
void *buffer = malloc(bufferSize);
size_t numBytesDecrypted = 0;
CCCryptorStatus cryptStatus = CCCrypt(encryptOrDecrypt,
kCCAlgorithmAES128,
kCCOptionPKCS7Padding,
keyPtr,
kCCKeySizeAES256,
NULL /* initialization vector (optional) */,
[data bytes], dataLength, /* input */
buffer, bufferSize, /* output */
&numBytesDecrypted);
if (cryptStatus != kCCSuccess){
NSLog(@"ERROR WITH FILE ENCRYPTION / DECRYPTION");
return nil;
}
NSData *result;
if (encryptOrDecrypt == kCCDecrypt)
{
result = [NSData dataWithBytes:(const void *)buffer length:(NSUInteger)numBytesDecrypted];
}
else
{
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithBytes:(const void *)buffer length:(NSUInteger)numBytesDecrypted];
result = [GTMBase64 encodeData:myData];
}
free(buffer); //free the buffer;
return result;
}
