B4A Library AES Encrypt/Decrypt (Encryption/Decryption) B4A and B4J library

This library works with both B4A and B4J.
Yes yes yes there are other ways to do this, this is how I do it. I have lots of small libraries that I use for myself, so I thought that I would share this one with the community.

Hello fellow B4X'ers,
I've decided to release this simple to use AES library, I created it some time ago for AES Encryption and Decryption of strings. I've been using this library in multiple B4X projects for quite some time now and I've never come across any issues with it. I decided to removed some methods that you don't need, so here it is.

How to use this library:
Just download the attached zip file and unzip the 2 files into your additional libraries folder.
B4X:
Sub Process_Globals
    '**************************************************************************************
    '* THIS IS AVAILABLE FOR B4A, B4J, VB.NET AND C# UNDER THE SAME LIBRARY AND DLL NAMES *
    '**************************************************************************************

    Private EncDec As AESEncryption
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    EncDec.InitializationVector = "Q.6qYq0_C+mGmymX" 'Must be 16 characters in length
    EncDec.SecretKey = "3hba8fOumOPrMG0.G?-mkF-scGOkPwyW" 'Must be 16 or 32 characters in length

    Dim EncryptDecryptString As String = "Peter"
    Log($"Encrypted = ${EncDec.AESEncrypt(EncryptDecryptString)}"$)
    Log($"Decrypted = ${EncDec.AESDecrypt(EncDec.AESEncrypt(EncryptDecryptString))}"$)
    StartMessageLoop
End Sub

Program started.
Encrypted = DB35530CCAD0E190E8DAF728DF4D4F8D
Decrypted = Peter

  • AESEncryption
    • Fields:
      • InitializationVector As String
      • SecretKey As String
    • Functions:
      • AESDecrypt (DecryptData As String) As String
        Decrypt AES encoded data to plain string
      • AESEncrypt (EncryptData As String) As String
        Encrypt plain string to AES encoded data
      • Initialize As String
        Use Initialize for B4A, Initialize is NOT necessary for B4J
      • IsInitialized As Boolean
        Tests whether the object has been initialized.

I use this library to encrypt data into and decrypt data out of my clients MySQL or MSSQL databases. For many years I've been developing bespoke Windows business software for clients using VB.Net and C#, I've always encrypted important data using AES encryption, after all some encryption is better than no encryption.

Enjoy...

In orther for this library to work, you'll need the "encryption library" installed on your Aditional Libraries folders:
