PHP to Delphi and back Encryption-Decryption using Rijndael

I have problems with decrypting strings sent from PHP to Delphi using the rijndael cipher. I'm using mcrypt on the PHP side and DCP_rijndael on the Delphi side.

At the moment I have the below code.

PHP:

function encRJ($key, $iv, $data)
{
    $r = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $data, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);
    $r = base64_encode($r);
    return $r;
}

And in Delphi:

function decRJ(Data: string; Key: string; IV: string): string;
var ciph: TDCP_rijndael;
begin
  Data := Base64DecodeStr(Data);

  ciph:= TDCP_rijndael.Create(Self);
  ciph.Init(Key[1], 256, @IV[1]);
  ciph.DecryptCBC(Data[1], Data[1], Length(Data));
  ciph.Free;

  Result := Data;
end;

I have tried using several Units on the Internet implementing the cipher, and found out most people are saying about the DCP components. Even so, I haven't managed to make it correctly decrypt. I've tried using Byte arrays for the parameters, AnsiStrings, WideStrings, etc, but unfo开发者_运维问答rtunately no luck.

Excuse me if I'm missing something really obvious here, as my mind isn't in good shape atm, after hours of searching for the matter.

I seem to have spent too long on this but...

Your problem is the block size. TDCP_rijndael is equivalent to MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 (not _256). The '256' value in ciph.Init(...) call is still correct though. Other than that it looks pretty much ok. That is, assuming you're using ansistrings for key/iv or you're using non-unicode Delphi.
For unicode Delphi versions I'd be inclined to use TBytes and key[0] / iv[0].

Padding may still be an issue. If so, then here's what I've mangled up based on the PHP manual pages and some trial and error.

PHP:

function Encrypt($src, $key, $iv)
{
  $block = mcrypt_get_block_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, 'cbc');
  //echo "Block size: " . $block . "\r\n";
  $pad = $block - (strlen($src) % $block);
  $src .= str_repeat(chr($pad), $pad);  

  $enc = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, $key, $src, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);
  $r = base64_encode($enc);
  return $r;
}

function Decrypt($src, $key, $iv)
{
  $enc = base64_decode($src);
  $dec = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, $key, $enc, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);

  $block = mcrypt_get_block_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, 'cbc');
  $pad = ord($dec[($len = strlen($dec)) - 1]);
  return substr($dec, 0, strlen($dec) - $pad);
}

Delphi:

function DecryptData(Data: string; AKey: AnsiString; AIv: AnsiString): string;
var
  key, iv, src, dest: TBytes;
  cipher: TDCP_rijndael;
  slen, pad: integer;
begin
  //key := Base64DecodeBytes(TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(AKey));
  //iv := Base64DecodeBytes(TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(AIv));
  key := TEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(AKey);
  iv := TEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(AIv);

  src := Base64DecodeBytes(TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Data));

  cipher := TDCP_rijndael.Create(nil);
  try
    cipher.CipherMode := cmCBC;
    slen := Length(src);
    SetLength(dest, slen);
    cipher.Init(key[0], 256, @iv[0]); // DCP uses key size in BITS not BYTES
    cipher.Decrypt(src[0], dest[0], slen);
    // Remove the padding. Get the numerical value of the last byte and remove
    // that number of bytes
    pad := dest[slen - 1];
    SetLength(dest, slen - pad);

    // Base64 encode it
    result := TEncoding.Default.GetString(dest);
  finally
    cipher.Free;
  end;
end;

function EncryptData(Data: string; AKey: AnsiString; AIv: AnsiString): string;
var
  cipher: TDCP_rijndael;
  key, iv, src, dest, b64: TBytes;
  index, slen, bsize, pad: integer;
begin
  //key := Base64DecodeBytes(TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(AKey));
  //iv := Base64DecodeBytes(TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(AIv));
  key := TEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(AKey);
  iv := TEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(AIv);

  src := TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Data);

  cipher := TDCP_rijndael.Create(nil);
  try
    cipher.CipherMode := cmCBC;
    // Add padding.
    // Resize the Value array to make it a multiple of the block length.
    // If it's already an exact multiple then add a full block of padding.
    slen := Length(src);
    bsize := (cipher.BlockSize div 8);
    pad := bsize - (slen mod bsize);
    Inc(slen, pad);
    SetLength(src, slen);
    for index := pad downto 1 do
    begin
      src[slen - index] := pad;
    end;

    SetLength(dest, slen);
    cipher.Init(key[0], 256, @iv[0]); // DCP uses key size in BITS not BYTES
    cipher.Encrypt(src[0], dest[0], slen);

    b64 := Base64EncodeBytes(dest);
    result := TEncoding.Default.GetString(b64);
  finally
    cipher.Free;
  end;
end;

The PHP and Delphi functions now give me the same answer.

EDIT

Base64DecodeBytes was a bit of code I added to the DCP Base64 unit:

function Base64DecodeBytes(Input: TBytes): TBytes;
var
  ilen, rlen: integer;
begin
  ilen := Length(Input);
  SetLength(result, (ilen div 4) * 3);
  rlen := Base64Decode(@Input[0], @result[0], ilen);
  // Adjust the length of the output buffer according to the number of valid
  // b64 characters
  SetLength(result, rlen);
end; 

EDIT 2018 (Raising the dead...):

As requested, here is the encoding method, unchecked and pulled straight from an old source file I found.

DISCLAIMER: It is many years old and untested in recent memory and not used since Delphi 2010. There are probably many better alternatives now. Use at your own risk.

function Base64EncodeBytes(Input: TBytes): TBytes;
var
  ilen: integer;
begin
  ilen := Length(Input);
  SetLength(result, ((ilen + 2) div 3) * 4);
  Base64Encode(@Input[0], @result[0], ilen);
end;

Neither your PHP nor your Delphi methods appear to specify any padding. If the default paddings are different then you will get problems. Explicitly specify PKCS7 (or PKCS5) for both.

GregS' comment about the result of decoding Base64 is correct. You are supplying encrypted cyphertext to your decRJ() method. That will be random appearing bytes. Attempting to convert it to UTF-8 will mangle it enough that it cannot be decrypted. The incoming cyphertext must be converted from Base64 direct to a byte array. Cyphertext is not a character string, which is why it needs to be converted to Base64 to be transmitted as text. It will only be text again after it has been decrypted back to plaintext.
