Length of the data to decrypt is invalid

B

Bishoy George

I made a class based on RijndaelManaged class.
I tied to separate the encrypting and decrypting processes.

I now have the follwing resistant error:
Length of the data to decrypt is invalid
Line 70: cs.Read(fromEncrypted, 0, fromEncrypted.Length);

I need a fix please.....

I can't see how you call those 2 functions, but I had something of the same,
I encrypted a string, stored it in a database table, and later decrypted it.
Had the same problem U did. Until I found out the field in the table wasn't
long enough to hold all of the encrypted string. So I didn't pass the
encrypted string to my decrypt fundtion. But a cut-off version of the
string.

Dear Jim,
In my case it is different, I just store the encrypted string in a Session
Variable and get it again from that Session Variable.

I may be misunderstanding your code, but it looks like your decrypt function
is taking the encrypted data which was encoded as a Base64 string and
converting that back to binary use ASCII! That doesn't make any sense. If
you encoded it with Base64, you must convert it back to binary with Base64.
You would then take the decrypted data and convert that back to a string
with ASCII.

Note that using ASCII is generally a bad idea though. You probably should
be using UTF8. UTF8 can round trip non-ASCII unicode characters, but will
be the same binary data as ASCII for ASCII characters. It is a no lose
proposition. ASCII inevitably ends up dropping characters when you least
expect it.
