public static String encryptParams(String myTextInput) {

        String myKey = "40674244454045cb9a70040a30e1c007";
        String myVector = "@1B2c3D4e5F6g7H8";

        String encData = "";

        try{
            JavaEncryprtionUtil encUtil = new JavaEncryprtionUtil();
            encData = Base64.encodeToString(encUtil.encrypt(myTextInput.getBytes("UTF-8"), myKey.getBytes("UTF-8"), myVector.getBytes("UTF-8")),Base64.DEFAULT);
            System.out.println(encData);
        }catch(NoSuchAlgorithmException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }catch(NoSuchPaddingException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }catch(InvalidKeyException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }catch(InvalidAlgorithmParameterException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }catch(IllegalBlockSizeException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }catch(BadPaddingException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }catch(UnsupportedEncodingException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        return encData;
    }
