I have need to simply encrypt some text in python and being able to decrypt in JavaScrypt.
So far I have in python:
from Crypto import Random
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
import base64
BLOCK_SIZE = 16
key = "1234567890123456" # want to be 16 chars
textToEncrypt = "This is text to encrypt"
def encrypt(message, passphrase):
# passphrase MUST be 16, 24 or 32 bytes long, how can I do that ?
IV = Random.new().read(BLOCK_SIZE)
aes = AES.new(passphrase, AES.MODE_CFB, IV)
return base64.b64encode(aes.encrypt(message))
def decrypt(encrypted, passphrase):
IV = Random.new().read(BLOCK_SIZE)
aes = AES.new(passphrase, AES.MODE_CFB, IV)
return aes.decrypt(base64.b64decode(encrypted))
print encrypt( textToEncrypt, key )
this is producing text: ZF9as5JII5TlqcB5tAd4sxPuBXd5TrgE
in JavaScript:
var decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt( "ZF9as5JII5TlqcB5tAd4sxPuBXd5TrgE", "1234567890123456");
console.log ( decrypted.toString( CryptoJS.enc.Utf8 ) );
however it does not produce original string (empty string instead).
What I am doing wrong ?
Is it focusing on AES is a best idea - I will be happy if I have some kind of encryption that will blur data.

There are many problems with your Python code and CryptoJS code:
You use a random IV to encrypt some plaintext in Python. If you want to retrieve that plaintext, you need to use the same IV during decryption. The plaintext cannot be recovered without the IV. Usually the IV is simply prepended to the ciphertext, because it doesn't have to be secret. So you need to read the IV during decryption and not generate a new one.
You use CBC mode in CryptoJS (default) instead of CFB mode. The mode has to be the same. The other tricky part is that CFB mode is parametrized with a segment size. PyCrypto uses by default 8-bit segments (CFB8), but CryptoJS is only implemented for fixed segments of 128-bit (CFB128). Since the PyCrypto version is variable, you need to change that.
The CryptoJS decrypt() function expects as ciphertext either an OpenSSL formatted string or a CipherParams object. Since you don't have an OpenSSL formatted string, you have to convert the ciphertext into an object.
The key for CryptoJS is expected to be a WordArray and not a string.
Use the same padding. PyCrypto doesn't pad the plaintext if CFB8 is used, but padding is needed when CFB128 is used. CryptoJS uses PKCS#7 padding by default, so you only need to implement that padding in python.
Python code (for version 2):
def pad(data):
length = 16 - (len(data) % 16)
return data + chr(length)*length
def unpad(data):
return data[:-ord(data[-1])]
def encrypt(message, passphrase):
IV = Random.new().read(BLOCK_SIZE)
aes = AES.new(passphrase, AES.MODE_CFB, IV, segment_size=128)
return base64.b64encode(IV + aes.encrypt(pad(message)))
def decrypt(encrypted, passphrase):
encrypted = base64.b64decode(encrypted)
IV = encrypted[:BLOCK_SIZE]
aes = AES.new(passphrase, AES.MODE_CFB, IV, segment_size=128)
return unpad(aes.decrypt(encrypted[BLOCK_SIZE:]))
JavaScript code:
var base64ciphertextFromPython = "...";
var ciphertext = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.parse(base64ciphertextFromPython);
// split iv and ciphertext
var iv = ciphertext.clone();
iv.sigBytes = 16;
iv.clamp();
ciphertext.words.splice(0, 4); // delete 4 words = 16 bytes
ciphertext.sigBytes -= 16;
var key = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse("1234567890123456");
// decryption
var decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt({ciphertext: ciphertext}, key, {
iv: iv,
mode: CryptoJS.mode.CFB
});
console.log ( decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8));
Other considerations:
It seems that you want to use a passphrase as a key. Passphrases are usually human readable, but keys are not. You can derive a key from a passphrase with functions such as PBKDF2, bcrypt or scrypt.
The code above is not fully secure, because it lacks authentication. Unauthenticated ciphertexts may lead to viable attacks and unnoticed data manipulation. Usually the an encrypt-then-MAC scheme is employed with a good MAC function such as HMAC-SHA256.
