How do I encrypt an object with DES?
Category: javax.crypto, viewed: 6729 time(s).
This example demonstrate encrypting an object using DES algorithm. After the object was encrypted we store it in a file which will be decrypted in the next example here How do I decrypt an object with DES?.
package org.kodejava.example.security;
import java.io.*;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;
import javax.crypto.SealedObject;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
public class ObjectEncrypt {
//
// Store object in a file for future use.
//
private static void writeToFile(String filename, Object object) throws Exception {
FileOutputStream fos = null;
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(filename));
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
oos.writeObject(object);
oos.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (oos != null) {
oos.close();
}
if (fos != null) {
fos.close();
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//
// Generating a temporary key and stire it in a file.
//
SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES").generateKey();
writeToFile("secretkey.dat", key);
//
// Preparing Cipher object for encryption.
//
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
//
// Here we seal (encrypt) a simple string message (a string object).
//
SealedObject sealedObject = new SealedObject("THIS IS A SECRET MESSAGE!", cipher);
//
// Write the object out as a binary file.
//
writeToFile("sealed.dat", sealedObject);
