1. Aes 256 Key Iv Generator
2. Aes Key And Iv Generators

The IV is XORed with the first block of AES in mode CBC to be encrypted. If you use a salt, the salt will be XORed with the IV in the first block, and this (IV xor Salt) will effectively become the IV of the second, which given a 16 byte salt, would be your actual message to be encrypted. When a symmetric cipher mode requires an IV, the length of the IV must be equal to the block size of the cipher. Hence, you must always use an IV of 128 bits (16 bytes) with AES. AES provides 128 bit, 192 bit and 256 bit of secret key size for encryption.

Remarks

.NET Framework provides implementation of many cryptographic algorithms. They include basically symmetric algorithms, asymmetric algorithms and hashes.

Create a Key from a Password / Random SALT (in C#)

This example is taken from MSDN.

It is a console demo, and it shows how to create a secure key based on a user-defined password, and how to create a random SALT based on the cryptographic random generator.

Notes:

• The built-in function PasswordDeriveBytes uses the standard PBKDF1 algorithm to generate a key from the password. Per default, it uses 100 iterations to generate the key to slow down brute force attacks. The SALT generated randomly further strenghens the key.

• The function CryptDeriveKey converts the key generated by PasswordDeriveBytes into a key compatible with the specified encryption algorithm (here 'TripleDES') by using the specified hash algorithm (here 'SHA1'). The keysize in this example is 192 bytes, and the initialization vector IV is taken from the triple-DES crypto provider

• /pdf-to-jpg-patch-download.html. Usually, this mechanism is used to protect a stronger random generated key by a password, which encrypts large amount of data. You can also use it to provide multiple passwords of different users to give access to the same data (being protected by a different random key).

• Unfortunately, CryptDeriveKey does currently not support AES. See here.
  NOTE: As a workaround, you can create a random AES key for encryption of the data to be protected with AES and store the AES key in a TripleDES-Container which uses the key generated by CryptDeriveKey. But that limits the security to TripleDES, does not take advantage of the larger keysizes of AES and creates a dependency to TripleDES.

Usage: See Main() method.

Encrypt and decrypt data using AES (in C#)

This example is from MSDN.

It is a console demo application, showing how to encrypt a string by using the standard AES encryption, and how to decrypt it afterwards.

(AES = Advanced Encryption Standard, a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001 which is still the de-facto standard for symmetric encryption)

Notes:

• In a real encryption scenario, you need to choose a proper cipher mode (can be assigned to the Mode property by selecting a value from the CipherMode enumeration). Never use the CipherMode.ECB (electronic codebook mode), since this procuces a weak cypher stream

• To create a good (and not a weak) Key, either use a cryptographic random generator or use the example above (Create a Key from a Password). The recommended KeySize is 256 bit. Supported key sizes are available via the LegalKeySizes property.

• To initialize the initialization vector IV, you can use a SALT as shown in the example above (Random SALT)

• Supported block sizes are available via the SupportedBlockSizes property, the block size can be assigned via the BlockSize property

Usage: see Main() method.

Aes 256 Key Iv Generator

Note:

• Rijndael is the predecessor of the standard symmetric cryptographic algorithm AES.

Aes Key And Iv Generators

Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) is a symmetric encryption algorithm. AES is the industry standard as of now as it allows 128 bit, 192 bit and 256 bit encryption.Symmetric encryption is very fast as compared to asymmetric encryption and are used in systems such as database system. Following is an online tool to generate AES encrypted password and decrypt AES encrypted password. It provides two mode of encryption and decryption ECB and CBC mode.

Usage Guide

Any plain-text input or output that you enter or we generate is not stored on this site, this tool is provided via an HTTPS URL to ensure that text cannot be stolen.

For encryption, you can either enter the plain text, password, an image file or a .txt file that you want to encrypt. Now choose the block cipher mode of encryption. ECB(Electronic Code Book) is the simplest encryption mode and does not require IV for encryption. The input plain text will be divided into blocks and each block will be encrypted with the key provided and hence identical plain text blocks are encrypted into identical cipher text blocks. CBC mode is highly recommended and it requires IV to make each message unique. If no IV is entered then default will be used here for CBC mode and that defaults to a zero based byte[16].

The AES algorithm has a 128-bit block size, regardless of whether you key length is 256, 192 or 128 bits. When a symmetric cipher mode requires an IV, the length of the IV must be equal to the block size of the cipher. Hence, you must always use an IV of 128 bits (16 bytes) with AES.

AES provides 128 bit, 192 bit and 256 bit of secret key size for encryption. Things to remember here is if you are selecting 128 bits for encryption, then the secret key must be of 16 bits long and 24 and 32 bits for 192 and 256 bits of key size. Now you can enter the secret key accordingly. By default, the encrypted text will be base64 encoded but you have options to select the output format as HEX too.

Similarly, for image and .txt file the encrypted form will be Base64 encoded.

Below is a screenshot that shows a sample usage of this online AES encryption tool.

AES decryption has also the same process. By default it assumes the entered text be in Base64. The input can be Base64 encoded or Hex encoded image and .txt file too. And the final decrypted output will be Base64 string. If the intended output is a plain-text then, it can be decoded to plain-text in-place.

But if the intended output is an image or .txt file then you can use this tool to convert the base64 encoded output to an image.
