Mimic MySQL AES_ENCRYPT in Apex

 
Share

I am trying to mimic the MySQL AES_ENCRYPT function in Apex code. However the issue I am having is that MySQL doesn't use an initialization vector. Is there a way to replicate this behavior in Apex?

In MySQL the text would be encoded as follows:

select HEX(AES_ENCRYPT('some random text', 'a16characterkey!')) as encoded_text;

In Apex I have tried the following but it doesn't produce the same output. Is there an initialize vector I can use that will produce the same output?

String key = 'a16characterkey!';
String iv = 'a16characterkey!';

Blob cryptoKey = Blob.valueOf(key);
Blob initializationVector = Blob.valueOf(iv);
Blob data = Blob.valueOf('some random text');

Blob encryptedData = Crypto.encrypt('AES128', cryptoKey, initializationVector, data);

system.debug(EncodingUtil.convertToHex(encryptedData));

Any thoughts?

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

UPDATE: Apex is still not the best tool for byte-twiddling, but the addition of EncodingUtil.ConvertFromHex() in Spring '14 makes this MUCH easier. Here's a better version of my implementation:

public class MySQLCrypto2 {
    // 16 bytes of zeroes
    static Blob iv = EncodingUtil.convertFromHex('00000000000000000000000000000000');

    public class MySQLCryptoException extends Exception {
    }

    public class BlobSplitter {
        String hexEncoding;
        Integer bytes; // size of the hex encoding
        Integer ptr = 0; // offset into the base64 encoding

        public BlobSplitter(Blob b) {
            hexEncoding = EncodingUtil.convertToHex(b);
            bytes = hexEncoding.length();
        }

        public Blob getBlock() {
            if (ptr >= bytes) {
                return null;
            }

            Integer charsToConsume = Math.min(32, (bytes - ptr));
            String hexBlock = hexEncoding.substring(ptr, ptr + charsToConsume);
            ptr += charsToConsume;

            return EncodingUtil.convertFromHex(hexBlock);
        }
    }

    private static Blob joinBlocks(List<Blob> blocks) {
        String hexEncoded = '';
        for (Integer i = 0; i < blocks.size(); i++) {
            hexEncoded += EncodingUtil.convertToHex(blocks[i]);
        }
        return EncodingUtil.convertFromHex(hexEncoded);
    }

    public static Blob encrypt(String algorithmName, Blob privateKey, Blob plainText) {
        if (algorithmName != 'AES128') {
            throw new MySQLCryptoException('Algorithm '+algorithmName+' not supported');
        }

        BlobSplitter bs = new BlobSplitter(plainText);

        List<Blob> cipherTextBlocks = new List<Blob>();
        Integer i;
        Blob block;
        for (i = 0; (block = bs.getBlock()) != null; i++) {
            System.debug('PT: '+EncodingUtil.convertToHex(block));

            cipherTextBlocks.add(Crypto.encrypt('AES128', privateKey, iv, block));
            if (cipherTextBlocks[i].size() > 16) {
                BlobSplitter bsc = new BlobSplitter(cipherTextBlocks[i]);
                cipherTextBlocks[i] = bsc.getBlock();
            }

            System.debug('CT: '+EncodingUtil.convertToHex(cipherTextBlocks[i]).toUpperCase());
        }

        Blob cipherText = joinBlocks(cipherTextBlocks);

        // System.debug('XX: '+EncodingUtil.convertToHex(cipherText).toUpperCase());

        return cipherText;
    }
}

OLD VERSION (kept for posterity, since it's the gnarliest Apex code you'll probably ever encounter!)

Apex is really not well suited to this task. The crypto was very straightforward, but the only way I was able to break the plaintext into 128-bit (16-byte) blocks was by base64 encoding it, twiddling bits, then base64 decoding the result. The same for combining ciphertext blocks into the final output.

Anyway - here is the code. It works for a bunch of test vectors that attempt to hit various cases in terms of numbers of blocks and amount of data in the last block, including your 54 byte example plaintext. It is a bit messy and, since it is stepping through most of the plaintext byte by byte, horribly inefficient, with about 10 script statements per byte of plaintext. You would not be able to encrypt more than about 20k of plaintext before you ran up against the script statement governor limit. I have no idea how this will perform under CPU time limits. Would be interesting to find out!

I'm posting it to show a solution as best I can see it, and to solicit better approaches, if they exist. If you are looking to encrypt small amounts of data, this might be useful.
