BlockSize must be 128 in this implementation


I'm using the following code to decrypt some strings I reicive but I'm getting the following error: BlockSize must be 128 in this implementation.

I would like to know if there is any way and how it would be possible to decrypt the strings I get without decreasing the size since I can't change my key and IV because the strings were encrypted with then.

       private string Decrypt(string text)
       {
           var inputByteArray = Convert.FromBase64String(text);

           var rm = new RijndaelManaged();
           rm.BlockSize = 256;
           rm.IV = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("11111111111111111111111111111111");
           rm.KeySize = 256;
           rm.Key = new SHA256Managed().ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"));

           var decryptor = rm.CreateDecryptor();
           var msDecrypt = new MemoryStream(inputByteArray);
           var csDecrypt = new CryptoStream(msDecrypt, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read);
           var srDecrypt = new StreamReader(csDecrypt);
           return srDecrypt.ReadToEnd();
       }

I'm using .netcore 5


Solution

  • to solve this problem i followed Topaco suggestion and used the BouncyCastle/C# library and that solved the error i was getting, below I leave the solution I used based on other forums.

    public static string Decrypt(string cipherText)
            {
        var ivStringBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("11111111111111111111111111111111");
                var cipherTextBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText);
                var keyBytes = new SHA256Managed().ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"));
                var engine = new RijndaelEngine(256);
                var blockCipher = new CbcBlockCipher(engine);
                var cipher = new PaddedBufferedBlockCipher(blockCipher, new Pkcs7Padding());
                var keyParam = new KeyParameter(keyBytes);
                var keyParamWithIV = new ParametersWithIV(keyParam, ivStringBytes, 0, 32);
                cipher.Init(false, keyParamWithIV);
                var finalBytes = cipher.DoFinal(cipherTextBytes);
                var final = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(finalBytes);
                return final;
    }
    

    And this is the package that i used:

    <PackageReference Include="BouncyCastle.NetCore" Version="1.8.10" />
