AES Cipher javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException

Please post the output of the following

System.out.printf("The length of the buffer to be decrypted is %d bytes\", encryptionBytes.length);

Select all Open in new window

Your input data must have a length which is a multiple of 8. If you try to encode a text that is, e.g. 12 bytes long, you will get this error. Before you can encrypt your text properly make sure its length is a multiple of 8.

If you don't want to do padding yourself, you may use another encryption provider, like "Blowfish/CBC/PKCS5Padding" instead of "AES".

Hi All,  Apologies, I've been off the radar the past few weeks.

On printing out the bytes the following error occurs.

EncryptionHelper.encrypt...byte array length: 18EncryptionHelper.encrypt...string interpretation: [B@b179c3 Encrypt len = 44 EncryptionHelper.encrypt...return value: [B@67ac19 String decoded = [B@53ba3d Lent=5 testt Controller.main...exception, illegal block size: javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher

My full class is as follows (you can ignore the actual "key" as I've just made it up for posting here).

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
