    Default my encrypting simple client to server program unable to get the key from client

    hi,

    so currently i am still trying the send the aes key encrypted with private and public key from keystore but it keep java.crypto.badpaddingexception blocktype mismatch:0
    nullpointerexception

    so i tried to print out the aes keys on both size and realized i am unable to get the aes key from the client so please take a min and help me to look through my code.

    Default Re: my encrypting simple client to server program unable to get the key from client

    Can you post the contents of the console(s) from when you execute the code?

    I get these errors:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: CLient.crt (The system cannot find the file specified)
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: srvr.crt (The system cannot find the file specified)


    If the problem is sending and receiving a binary file, can you remove the references to .crt files and use some other file that will make it possible to test the code?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    heres both of them.

    System.out.println("fufiffofo");
    //decrypt it
    byte[] aesobj=DecryptRSA(ServerPriv,serverCert.getPublicK ey(),encryptedobj);
    System.out.println("fufiffofo");

    i tried to debug it using print ln and this was between the nonsense

    Can you copy and paste it here. The images are not readable.

    To copy the contents of the command prompt window:
    Click on Icon in upper left corner
    Select Edit
    Select 'Select All' - The selection will show
    Click in upper left again
    Select Edit and click 'Copy'

    Paste here.


    If the problem is sending and receiving a binary file, can you remove the references to .crt files and use some other file that will make it possible to test the code?

    java.lang.NullPointerException
    Where is the stack trace that shows where the error happened?


    Has the key processing been tested without the client/server send/receive logic?
    Have you tried passing the byte array directly without the client/server write/read?
    Source-of-data => target-for-data
    If the works then try this:
    Somebytes => server => client => recvdbytes
    then compare Somebytes to recvdbytes


    What you are trying to do is:
    Source-of-data => server => client => target-for-data

    Isolate the different parts of the code and test those first two paths.

    Default Re: my encrypting simple client to server program unable to get the key from client

    ok i found the error here


    //remove additional byte
    byte[] mybyte= new byte[300];
    //get aes string
    int rsize= streamIn.read(mybyte);

    byte[] encryptedobj = new byte[rsize];
    for(int i=0; i==rsize;i++){
    encryptedobj[i]=mybyte[i];

    }
    these code does not transfer the value of the byte to encryptedobj somehow.. any ideas on how to fix it?

    thanks for the help so far.

    does not transfer the value of the byte to encryptedobj
    Are you asking about the contents of encryptedobj ?
    What is in it after the loop executes? How many bytes are copied?

    Did you read the contents of the link I posted? It's described there.


    How to write a for loop:
    The for Statement (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)

    or look at the Arrays class. It has methods for copying arrays.
