Generate Secret Key Aes Java
Description
I have written a below program to encrypt a file with AES 128 algorithm. This code works fine. It does encrypt and decrypt file successfully. Here in this code I am generating SecretKey in the main method with the use of key generator. Java provides a number of helper classes for AES encryption such as Cipher (for encryption/decryption), SecretKey (represents the shared secret key) and KeyGenerator (generates the shared secret key). Also note that both secret key and encrypted data is binary data and hence cannot be printed directly. To generate secrete key we can use Java KeyGenerator class which provides the functionality of a secret (symmetric) key generator. Key generators are constructed using one of the getInstance class methods of this class. GetInstance method of KeyGenerator takes parameter name of algorithm and Returns a KeyGenerator object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm. This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider.
Nov 19, 2018 In this article, we will learn AES 256 Encryption and Decryption. AES uses the same secret key is used for the both encryption and decryption. Unlike AES 128 bit encryption and decryption, if we need a stronger AES 256 bit key, we need to have Java cryptography extension (JCE) unlimited strength jurisdiction policy files. I read some examples about using Java Cipher to encrypt and decrypt data. For example: KeyGenerator keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance('AES'); SecureRandom secureRandom = new SecureRandom. Secret key factories operate only on secret (symmetric) keys. Key factories are bi-directional, i.e., they allow to build an opaque key object from a given key specification (key material), or to retrieve the underlying key material of a key object in a suitable format. See the SecretKeyFactory section in the Java Cryptography Architecture.
Gets a secure key value for use in the Encrypt function.

Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
algorithm | The encryption algorithm for which to generate the key. ColdFusion installs a cryptography library with the following algorithms:
|
keysize | Number of bits requested in the key for the specified algorithm.You can use this to request longer keys when allowed by the JDK. For example, the AES algorithm keys are limited to 128 bits unless the Java Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files are installed.

Usage
You cannot use the GenerateSecretKey function to generate a key for the ColdFusion default encryption algorithm (CFMX_COMPAT) of the Encrypt and Decrypt functions.
ColdFusion uses the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) and installs a Sun Java runtime that includes the Sun JCE default security provider. This provider includes the algorithms listed in the Parameters section. The JCE framework includes facilities for using other provider implementations; however, Adobe cannot provide technical support for third-party security providers.
