Encr_AES_DecryptUsingKey |
Decrypts data with AES using an encryption key and initialization vector.
Syntax
Encr_AES_DecryptUsingKey ( switches ; key ; initializationVector;
dataToDecrypt ; {paddingScheme} )
Parameters
switches | modifies the behavior of the function |
key | the key to use |
initializationVector | the initialization vector (IV) to use (formatted in Base64) |
dataToDecrypt | the text to decrypt |
paddingScheme | (optional) the padding that was used, can be: PKCS7 (default) or ZeroPadding |
Switches
You can add one or more of these switches to retrieve extra information:
-AddSaltInfo | add the used Salt at the end of the result (need not be kept secret) |
Other switches are not (yet) possible.
Returned Result
Data type returned
Text
Result
the decrypted text or an error code.
Returned error codes can be:
$$-4244 | kErrPwdEmpty | no decryption key was given |
$$-50 | paramErr | Parameter error (incorrect key size or IV size given) |

Compatibility

Considerations
This is an advanced function, for exchanging data with other systems. You might want to use the more simple Encr_DecryptAES function.
You use this in conjunction with the Encr_AES_CreateKeyAndIV function (and to encrypt the Encr_AES_EncryptUsingKey function).
Technical details:
AES-128: 128 bit, CBC with a 16 byte key. Blocksize is 16 byte so the IV is 16 byte.
AES-256: 256 bit, CBC with a 32 byte key. Blocksize is also 16 byte so the IV is 16 byte.
Example
Use the result of the Encr_AES_CreateKeyAndIV function to fill the following variables:
Set Variable [ $EncryptionKey ; "ZTBkMDczYzdkN2NhZDNiMjFmMDM1MTdiOWMwM2Q3ZDg=" ]
Set Variable [ $InitializationVector ; "eYylMTRugzqcaHrqW7JxQg==" ]
Also set the following variables:
Set Variable [ $OriginalText ; "9/0bnrlHqOTojVF2qrmrRw== " ]
Set Variable [ $PaddingScheme ; "PKCS7" ]
Then decrypt it:
Set Variable [ $DecryptedText ; Encr_AES_DecryptUsingKey ( "-unused" ; $EncryptionKey ;
$InitializationVector ; $OriginalText ; $PaddingScheme ) ]
The result will be the original data, for example:
“your text to be made secret”
If the key or iv is different from the encryption the result will be random data.
