Caution, MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 is not equivalent to AES_256.
The way to make RIJNDAEL be decrypted from AES with openssl is to use MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 and padd the string to encrypt before encrypting with the follwing function:
<?php
function pkcs5_pad ($text, $blocksize) {
$pad = $blocksize - (strlen($text) % $blocksize);
return $text . str_repeat(chr($pad), $pad);
}
?>
On the decryption, the choosing of AES_256 or AES_128, etc. is based on the keysize used in the crypting. In my case it was a 128bit key so I used AES_128.
mcrypt_decrypt
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5)
mcrypt_decrypt — Déchiffre un texte avec les paramètres donnés
Description
$cipher
, string $key
, string $data
, string $mode
[, string $iv
] )
Déchiffre les données data et retourne les données déchiffrées.
Liste de paramètres
-
cipher -
Une constante parmi les constantes
MCRYPT_ciphername, ou le nom de l'algorithme, sous la forme d'une chaîne de caractères. -
key -
La clé utilisée lors du chiffrement des données. Si elle est plus petite que la taille requise, elle sera complétée par des '\0'.
-
data -
Les données qui seront déchiffrées avec utilisant les paramètres
cipheretmode. Si la taille des données ne correspond pas à n * la taille du bloc, les données seront complétées par des '\0'. -
mode -
Une constantes parmi les constantes
MCRYPT_MODE_modename, ou une des chaînes suivantes : "ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" ou "stream". -
iv -
Utilisé pour l'initialisation des modes CBC, CFB, OFB, ainsi que dans quelques algorithmes du mode STREAM. Si vous ne fournissez pas un IV, alors que cela est nécessaire pour l'algorithme, la fonction émettra une alerte et utilisera un IV dont tous les octets vaudront "\0".
Valeurs de retour
Retourne les données déchiffrées sous la forme d'une chaîne de caractères.
Be careful, sometimes mcrypt_decrypt return additional white spaces to the uncrypted string; use trim() for deleting them. I was like 2 hours searching the error and it was that..
If you happen to be decrypting something encrypted in ColdFusion, you'll discover that its encrypt function apparently pads the plaintext with ASCII 4, the "end of transmission" character.
Building on eddiec's code, you can remove both nulls and EOTs with this:
<?php
$retval = mcrypt_decrypt( ...etc ...);
$retval = rtrim($retval, "\0\4"); // trim ONLY the nulls and EOTs at the END
?>
It appears that mcrypt_decrypt pads the *RETURN STRING* with nulls ('\0') to fill out to n * blocksize. For old C-programmers, like myself, it is easy to believe the string ends at the first null. In PHP it does not:
strlen("abc\0\0") returns 5 and *NOT* 3
strcmp("abc", "abc\0\0") returns -2 and *NOT* 0
I learned this lesson painfully when I passed a string returned from mycrypt_decrypt into a NuSoap message, which happily passed the nulls along to the receiver, who couldn't figure out what I was talking about.
My solution was:
<?php
$retval = mcrypt_decrypt( ...etc ...);
$retval = rtrim($retval, "\0"); // trim ONLY the nulls at the END
?>
To decrypt data coming from MySQL's AES_ENCRYPT function:
<?php
function mysql_aes_key($key)
{
$new_key = str_repeat(chr(0), 16);
for($i=0,$len=strlen($key);$i<$len;$i++)
{
$new_key[$i%16] = $new_key[$i%16] ^ $key[$i];
}
return $new_key;
}
function aes_decrypt($encrypted,$key)
{
// if $encrypted is HEXed, then return it to binary
$encrypted = pack('H*',$encrypted);
$key = mysql_aes_key($key);
return rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128,$key,$encrypted,MCRYPT_MODE_ECB,''),"\x00..\x1F");
}
?>
adapted from the article "Replicating MySQL AES Encryption Methods With PHP" (dated 2012-05-20) found somewhere online.
To remove PKCS7 padding:
<?php
$decrypted = mdecrypt_generic($td, base64_decode($enc_auth_token));
$dec_s = strlen($decrypted);
$padding = ord($decrypted[$dec_s-1]);
$decrypted = substr($decrypted, 0, -$padding);
?>
Since the returned data seems to be still padded with extra characters, you can get *only* the original data that was encrypted by str_replace()'ing the \x0 characters.
<?php
$decryptedData = str_replace("\x0", '', $encryptedData);
?>
If you want to combine mcrypt with MySQL's AES_DECRYPT / AES_ENCRYPT function, please keep in mind that it uses PKCS5 padding (code from note above works just fine), what is not mentioned in MySQL's documentation at all.
