I am working on writing an encryption class to encrypt/decrypt data with a key before/after sending TCP data. I am having a problem getting org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64
to work on my system. In most cases, I can see people relating this to android studio, however, I'm using notepad++ and the command line and am still having problems.
I have added commons-codec-1.10.jar
to my project directory. I run at the command line:
javac -cp .;commons-codec-1.10.jar Server.java ... CryptoUtil.java
I have this at the top
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
My error is:
CryptoUtil.java:60: error: cannot find symbol
String encStr = new Base64.encodeBase64String(out);
^
symbol: class encodeBase64String
location: class Base64
CryptoUtil.java:87: error: cannot find symbol
byte[] enc = new Base64.decodeBase64(encryptedText);
^
symbol: class decodeBase64
location: class Base64
2 errors
And my enclosing functions:
public String encrypt(String secretKey, String plainText)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
InvalidKeySpecException,
NoSuchPaddingException,
InvalidKeyException,
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException,
UnsupportedEncodingException,
IllegalBlockSizeException,
BadPaddingException{
//Key generation for enc and desc
KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(secretKey.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount);
SecretKey key = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES").generateSecret(keySpec);
// Prepare the parameter to the ciphers
AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec = new PBEParameterSpec(salt, iterationCount);
//Enc process
ecipher = Cipher.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm());
ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, paramSpec);
String charSet="UTF-8";
byte[] in = plainText.getBytes(charSet);
byte[] out = ecipher.doFinal(in);
String encStr = new Base64.encodeBase64String(out);
return encStr;
}

The new
keyword expects a type to be created. As the little caret points out, there should be brackets ()
behind Base64
.
Yet, Base64
is a collection of static
methods, so you are done if you just drop the new
in this case.
String encStr = Base64.encodeBase64String(out);
should do the trick.
