I am developing a client application in Go that relies on AES CFB. The server side says C. My problem is that the Go AES CFB implementation is different from many others (including OpenSSL). I wrote this to test my theory: -
package main
import (
"fmt"
"encoding/hex"
"crypto/cipher"
"crypto/aes"
)
func encrypt_aes_cfb(plain, key, iv []byte) (encrypted []byte) {
block, err := aes.NewCipher(key)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
encrypted = make([]byte, len(plain))
stream := cipher.NewCFBEncrypter(block, iv)
stream.XORKeyStream(encrypted, plain)
return
}
func decrypt_aes_cfb(encrypted, key, iv []byte) (plain []byte) {
block, err := aes.NewCipher(key)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
plain = make([]byte, len(encrypted))
stream := cipher.NewCFBDecrypter(block, iv)
stream.XORKeyStream(plain, encrypted)
return
}
func main() {
plain := []byte("Hello world.....")
key := []byte("01234567890123456789012345678901")
iv := []byte("0123456789012345")
enc := encrypt_aes_cfb(plain, key, iv)
dec := decrypt_aes_cfb(enc, key, iv)
fmt.Println("Key: ", hex.EncodeToString(key))
fmt.Println("IV: ", hex.EncodeToString(iv))
fmt.Println("Enc: ", hex.EncodeToString(enc))
fmt.Println("In: ", hex.EncodeToString(plain))
fmt.Println("Out: ", hex.EncodeToString(dec))
}
When this is done, it works fine, however, if the encrypted bytes are inserted into another AES implementation and decrypted using the same key and IV, the plaintext is corrupted (except for the first byte). http://aes.online-domain-tools.com/ provides simple tools to verify this. Any suggestions why this might happen and how can I solve it?
