Encrypting a File or Stream with DES java

Encrypting a File or Stream with DES

This example implements a class for encrypting and decrypting files or streams using DES. The class is created with a key and can be used repeatedly to encrypt and decrypt streams using that key.

public class DesEncrypter {
    Cipher ecipher;
    Cipher dcipher;

    DesEncrypter(SecretKey key) {
        // Create an 8-byte initialization vector
        byte[] iv = new byte[]{
            (byte)0x8E, 0x12, 0x39, (byte)0x9C,
            0x07, 0x72, 0x6F, 0x5A
        };
        AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec = new IvParameterSpec(iv);
        try {
            ecipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
            dcipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");

            // CBC requires an initialization vector
            ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, paramSpec);
            dcipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, paramSpec);
        } catch (java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException e) {
        } catch (javax.crypto.NoSuchPaddingException e) {
        } catch (java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        } catch (java.security.InvalidKeyException e) {
        }
    }

    // Buffer used to transport the bytes from one stream to another
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];

    public void encrypt(InputStream in, OutputStream out) {
        try {
            // Bytes written to out will be encrypted
            out = new CipherOutputStream(out, ecipher);

            // Read in the cleartext bytes and write to out to encrypt
            int numRead = 0;
            while ((numRead = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
                out.write(buf, 0, numRead);
            }
            out.close();
        } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
        }
    }

    public void decrypt(InputStream in, OutputStream out) {
        try {
            // Bytes read from in will be decrypted
            in = new CipherInputStream(in, dcipher);

            // Read in the decrypted bytes and write the cleartext to out
            int numRead = 0;
            while ((numRead = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
                out.write(buf, 0, numRead);
            }
            out.close();
        } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
        }
    }
}

Here's an example that uses the class:

try {
    // Generate a temporary key. In practice, you would save this key.
    // See also Encrypting with DES Using a Pass Phrase.
    SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES").generateKey();

    // Create encrypter/decrypter class
    DesEncrypter encrypter = new DesEncrypter(key);

    // Encrypt
    encrypter.encrypt(new FileInputStream("cleartext1"),
        new FileOutputStream("ciphertext"));

    // Decrypt
    encrypter.decrypt(new FileInputStream("ciphertext"),
        new FileOutputStream("cleartext2"));
} catch (Exception e) {
}
