CFB (Cipher Feedback) mode in Java JCE

To use CFB mode in Java JCE, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary classes:
    import javax.crypto.Cipher;
    import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
    import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
    
  2. Provide the key and initialization vector (IV) for your encryption/decryption process:
    String key = "0123456789abcdef"; // 16-byte key
    String iv = "1234567890abcdef"; // 16-byte initialization vector
    
  3. Create instances of SecretKeySpec and IvParameterSpec using the provided key and IV:
    SecretKeySpec secretKeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), "AES");
    IvParameterSpec ivSpec = new IvParameterSpec(iv.getBytes());
    
  4. Initialize the Cipher instance with the desired algorithm and mode:
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CFB/NoPadding");
    
  5. Initialize the Cipher instance in encryption or decryption mode with the specified key and IV:
    cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKeySpec, ivSpec); // For encryption
    

    OR

    cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, secretKeySpec, ivSpec); // For decryption
    
  6. Use the doFinal method to perform the encryption/decryption:
    byte[] input = "Hello, CFB!".getBytes();
    byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(input);
    

Here’s a complete example of using CFB mode in Java JCE for encryption and decryption:

import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;

public class CFBExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String key = "0123456789abcdef";
        String iv = "1234567890abcdef";

        SecretKeySpec secretKeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), "AES");
        IvParameterSpec ivSpec = new IvParameterSpec(iv.getBytes());

        Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CFB/NoPadding");
        cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKeySpec, ivSpec);

        byte[] input = "Hello, CFB!".getBytes();
        byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(input);

        System.out.println("Encrypted text: " + new String(cipherText));

        cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, secretKeySpec, ivSpec);
        byte[] decryptedText = cipher.doFinal(cipherText);

        System.out.println("Decrypted text: " + new String(decryptedText));
    }
}

Remember to handle appropriate exceptions and provide error handling where necessary.
