I have the following function in Ruby that decrypts a bit of data:
def decrypt(key, iv, cipher_hex)
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new('aes-256-cbc')
cipher.decrypt
cipher.key = key.gsub(/(..)/){|h| h.hex.chr}
cipher.iv = iv.gsub(/(..)/){|h| h.hex.chr}
decrypted_data = cipher.update(cipher_hex.gsub(/(..)/){|h| h.hex.chr})
decrypted_data << cipher.final
return decrypted_data
end
I'm trying to do the exact same thing in PHP, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I've got:
function decrypt_data($key, $iv, $cipher_hex) {
return mcrypt_decrypt(
MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128,
hex_to_str($key),
hex_to_str($cipher_hex),
MCRYPT_MODE_CBC,
hex_to_str($iv)
);
}
function hex_to_str($hex_str) {
preg_match_all('/(..)/', $hex_str, $matches);
$to_return = '';
foreach ($matches[1] as $val)
$to_return .= chr(hexdec($val));
return $to_return;
}
The output just ends up being garbage, not the string I'm looking for. Ideas?
And before we even start, switching it to MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256
doesn't seem help and just causes it to complain about the iv not being as long as the block size. I believe 128 is correct in this case since this site says that the 128/256 is an indication of the block size, not the key size.
