AES Encrypt data in php and decrypt in node js.

decrypt.js

//require cyrpto module
var crypto=require('crypto');
 
//key and iv should be same as the one in encrypt.php
var decipher=crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-256-cbc','12345678901234561234567890123456','1234567890123456');
 
//since we have already added padding while encrypting, we will set autopadding of node js to false.
decipher.setAutoPadding(false);
 
// copy the output of encrypt.php and paste it below
var cipherHexText256="a3c0d0b8a72c98f97dad01f0c0008c31ef9398e820ce520368ae2b24be844c78";
 
var dec = decipher.update(cipherHexText256,'hex','utf8');
 
//decrypted data is stored in dec
dec += decipher.final('utf8');
 
console.log(dec);

encrypt.php

<?php

Any chance you can post the reverse? Decrypt in php and encrypt in nodejs?

Thanks!

Hi jonas-db,

I've done the reverse for node.js portion:

/*
 * Encrypt
 */
var crypto=require('crypto');

var cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-256-cbc', '12345678901234561234567890123456', '1234567890123456');

var encryptedVal = cipher.update('This is plain text.', 'utf8', 'hex');

encryptedVal += cipher.final('hex');

console.log('encryptedVal: ', encryptedVal);

This complements pradipchitrakar decrypt.js file above.

Reference:

http://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html

This will not work with utf8 strings I changed "binary" to "utf8" and it worked well.

Here's the reverse in PHP that was requested

$encrypted_str = 'ac33bc3d8e41865621382e44a452f20d'; // as an example
$iv = '1234567890123456';
$key256 = '12345678901234561234567890123456';

$limbo = hex2bin($decrypt);
$cipher = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, '', MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, '');
mcrypt_generic_init($cipher, $key256, $iv);
$decrypted = mdecrypt_generic($cipher, $limbo);
echo $decrypted;

Sorry, you'll also need to do this:
trim($decrypted);

Node encrypt to node decrypt result: decrypted string + strange simbols ???

PHP encrypt to PHP decrypt fine works.

Watts remove strange simbols in Node?
