C++ writing/reading hex values correctly (CryptoPP)

Question

Hello, I am trying to run a program, that encrypts and decrypts using AES.

(from http://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/AESProductKey.aspx )

// From aestest1.cpp

// Runtime Includes
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include "stdafx.h"

// Crypto++ Includes
#include "cryptlib.h"

#include "aes.h"        // AES

#include "modes.h"      // CBC_Mode< >

#include "filters.h"    // StringSource

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

// Key and IV setup
byte key[ CryptoPP::AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH ], 
      iv[ CryptoPP::AES::BLOCKSIZE ];

::memset( key, 0x01, CryptoPP::AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH );
::memset(  iv, 0x01, CryptoPP::AES::BLOCKSIZE );

// Message M
string PlainText = "Hello AES World";

// Debug
cout << "Plain Text:" << endl;
cout << "  '" << PlainText << "'" << endl;
cout << endl;

// Cipher Text Sink
string CipherText;

// Encryption
CryptoPP::CBC_Mode<CryptoPP::AES>::Encryption
    Encryptor( key, sizeof(key), iv );

CryptoPP::StringSource( PlainText, true,
    new CryptoPP::StreamTransformationFilter( Encryptor,
        new CryptoPP::StringSink( CipherText )
    ) // StreamTransformationFilter
); // StringSource


///////////////////////////////////////
//                DMZ                //
///////////////////////////////////////
//Write data
ofstream write ("file.txt", ios::out | ios::binary);
write.write((char*)key,sizeof(key));
write.write((char*)iv,sizeof(iv));
int at = CipherText.length();
write.write(CipherText.c_str(),at); 
write.close();
CipherText.erase();
//Using new key and iv later;
byte key1[ CryptoPP::AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH ], 
     iv1[ CryptoPP::AES::BLOCKSIZE ];

//Read data
ifstream read ("file.txt", ios::in | ios::binary);

read.seekg (0, ios::end);
int fsize = read.tellg();
read.seekg (0, ios::beg);

read.read((char*)key1,sizeof(key));
read.read((char*)iv1,sizeof(iv));




int toRead = fsize - sizeof(key) - sizeof(iv);
vector<char> bData(toRead);
read.read(&bData[0],toRead);

read.close();
// Recovered Text Sink
string RecoveredText;

// Decryption
CryptoPP::CBC_Mode<CryptoPP::AES>::Decryption
    Decryptor( key1, sizeof(key1), iv1 );

CryptoPP::StringSource( &bData[0], true,
    new CryptoPP::StreamTransformationFilter( Decryptor,
        new CryptoPP::StringSink( RecoveredText )
    ) // StreamTransformationFilter
); // StringSink

// Debug
cout << "Recovered Text:" << endl;
cout << "  '" << RecoveredText << "'" << endl;
cout << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;

} So I couldn`t manage to write a code, that will correctly do the stuff, that mentioned in comments (after DMZ, where ofstream begins). Thanks in advance.

You need to disable text processing, which messes up newline characters.

Try

ofstream write ("text.txt", ios::out | ios__binary);

and

ifstream read ("text.txt", ios::in | ios::binary);
