I'm using an extension method to decrypt a string which is encrypted by the server side php script using AES Algorithm.
The following is the extension method used
func aesDecrypt(key:String, iv:String, options:Int = kCCOptionPKCS7Padding) -> String? {
if let keyData = key.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8),
let data = NSData(base64Encoded: self, options: .ignoreUnknownCharacters),
let cryptData = NSMutableData(length: Int((data.length)) + kCCBlockSizeAES128) {
let keyLength = size_t(kCCKeySizeAES128)
let operation: CCOperation = UInt32(kCCDecrypt)
let algoritm: CCAlgorithm = UInt32(kCCAlgorithmAES128)
let options: CCOptions = UInt32(options)
var numBytesEncrypted :size_t = 0
let cryptStatus = CCCrypt(operation,
algoritm,
options,
(keyData as NSData).bytes, keyLength,
iv,
data.bytes, data.length,
cryptData.mutableBytes, cryptData.length,
&numBytesEncrypted)
if UInt32(cryptStatus) == UInt32(kCCSuccess) {
cryptData.length = Int(numBytesEncrypted)
let unencryptedMessage = String(data: cryptData as Data, encoding:String.Encoding.utf8)
return unencryptedMessage
}
else {
return nil
}
}
return nil
}
This sometimes returns a null value
unencode = responseString?.aesDecrypt(key: "mykey", iv: "value");
I cannot figure out the exact reason why this happens.The responseString was not null when this happened.
Please advice
