I have a SQL db storing passwords that were encrypted through a .NET application, that I need to decrypt through a ColdFusion app. I just can't seem to get things set upproperly for the CF decryption to work. Any help would by appreciated. Thanks. The .NET decryption code is: public string Decrypt(string input) { try { DESCryptoServiceProvider des = new DESCryptoServiceProvider(); int ZeroBasedByteCount = (input.Length / 2); //Put the input string into the byte array byte[] inputByteArray = new byte[ZeroBasedByteCount]; int i; int x; for (x = 0;x<ZeroBasedByteCount;x++) { i = (Convert.ToInt32(input.Substring(x * 2, 2), 16)); inputByteArray[x] = (byte)i; } //Create the crypto objects des.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(key); des.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(key); MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, des.CreateDecryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write); //Flush the data through the crypto stream into the memory stream cs.Write(inputByteArray, 0, inputByteArray.Length); cs.FlushFinalBlock(); //Get the decrypted data back from the memory stream StringBuilder ret = new StringBuilder(); foreach(byte b in ms.ToArray()) { ret.Append((char)b); } return ret.ToString(); } catch(Exception ex) { throw(ex); return null; } }
