B4J Library Alice - AES Encryption

This is a wrap for this Github Project.

Java AES encryption library

Alice is a Java AES/DES encryption library for working with byte arrays, files, and streams. Various key lengths, block modes, padding schemes, key deriviation functions, and Message Authentication Codes (MAC) are available. See the javadoc for more information.

I tested it with a file of 2.4GB Size

Any chance of wrapping a non-NSA designed algo? Snowden showed these are not safe to use.

 

[DonManfred]

I just did a wrap for the Alice Github Project. I did not developed anything here. Just made a Githubproject useable in B4A and B4J.

If you know a Githubproject which is doing what you want: Post the url: i´ll see what i can do. Note that it should be compatible with b4a and b4j too.

Snowden showed these are not safe to use.

While I could not find anything to confirm that. Then again even the most impressive solutions can't get around a local malware infected device, and that seems to be the general aproach.

What comes to mind though would be the Signal Protocol for Java/Android.

& thanks for the wrap Mandfred!

Looks interesting ;-)

I thought this looked really interesting for a small password storage system I have planned for ages.
Simply to encypt a text file with the password information, and decrypt as required.

Example below returns an error on compiling. I have tried different keys, including the one in the original post.
I see a couple of purple underline messages in the B4J editor. e.g. bld.Algorithm = ac.AES indicates a forced string conversion.
I have put the Alice.jar and Alice.xml into my "Additional Libraries/B4J" folder.

What have I missed?

Example of the code.

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fx As JFX
    Private MainForm As Form
    Private alice As Alice
    Private ac As AliceConstants
End Sub
Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
    MainForm = Form1
    'MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Layout1") 'Load the layout file.
    Dim Foldername As String = "My file location"
    Dim bld As AliceContextBuilder
    bld.Initialize("")
    bld.Algorithm = ac.AES
    bld.Mode = ac.CTR
    alice.Initialize("MyAlice",bld.build)
' Encrypt file
    alice.encryptFile2(Foldername,"Alice.txt", Foldername, "AliceOut.txt", "FGERHZXCG434TRWR")
    MainForm.Show
End Sub

Error message:

1. You should always create a new thread in the Questionsforum for any Issue/Question you have
2. It is working here. Did you also copied the alice-0.5.jar?

 

[Peter Meares]

Sorry about the wrong post location.
Still not working. I am still on Java 8 maybe I should move to 11. I will do some reading around the error.
Thanks
