DCPcrypt encryption decrypt in PyCrypto - python

I am working to decrypt data that was encrypted with DCPcrypt using Rijndael. I wanted to use Python to decrypt it but I'm running into issues. I'll mention that I'm not particularly crypto savvy (I took a college course, but that's about it) and I'm also not a Delphi programmer, so that is also probably hindering my efforts to decipher what precisely DCPcrypt is doing.
This is the meat of the Delphi code:
Cipher: TDCP_rijndael;
begin
Cipher:= TDCP_rijndael.Create(nil);
Cipher.InitStr(PasswordField.Text);
Cipher.EncryptCBC(encryptString[1],encryptString[1],Length(encryptString));
So the implementation uses a key (obtained from the password field) but no IV. PyCrypto on the other hand requires an IV. Searching through the internals of the DCPcrypt code, it appears that if the IV is nil, then an ECB encryption is used to populate the IV from a string of 0xff?
procedure TDCP_rijndael.Init(var Key; Size: longint; IVector: pointer);
....
if IVector= nil then
begin
FillChar(IV,Sizeof(IV),$FF);
{$IFDEF CFORM}Encrypt(IV,IV){$ELSE}RijndaelEncryptECB(Data,IV,IV){$ENDIF};
Move(IV,LB,Sizeof(LB));
end
It appears that I'm using a static IV. However, I am not able to make this work. Here's my implementation in PyCrypto. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
key = "password"
s = hashlib.sha1()
s.update(key)
key = s.digest()
key = key[:16]
# Set up the IV, note that in ECB the third parameter to the AES.new function is ignored since ECB doesn't use an IV
ecb = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_ECB, '\xff' * 16)
iv = ecb.encrypt('\xff' * 16)
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CFB, iv)
msg = cipher.decrypt(ct[:16])
I have some plain text that was encrypted using the Delphi code and then base64 encoded. The key used was the string password, as hardcoded in above. Using my implementation, I decrypt a bunch of garbled bytes.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A random assortment of suggestions and thoughts:
Static IVs are generally a security risk as they open the door to known plaintext attacks.
Looking at the dcpcrypt source, it looks like there is a method to specify an IV. Any reason not to, if for no other reason than to eliminate incorrect IV as an error source?
Likewise, you could experiment with ECB instead of CBC to eliminate the IV altogether and isolate whether the problem is in the IV or elsewhere (key, data, or configuration).

DISCLAIMER: I'm extremely new to Python, but try this:
Try changing
key = key[:16]
to
key = key + bytes([0,0,0,0])
This will give you a 24 byte key which, I think, should work.
DCP allows any length of key whereas Crypto insists on keys of 16, 24 or 32 bytes. By default DCP will use SHA1 to generate the key, which is then 20 bytes long. Based on this DCP uses logic for keylength <= 24 and just zero pads the key rather than logic for keylength <= 16 which is the effect that key[:16] is having.
Also, don't know if this is just a typo but try changing the AES mode
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CFB, iv)
to
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv)
That will give a decryption of your input. But then you'll need to consider padding of the original source text because DCP does not pad (I think) but Crypto requires multiples of 16 for decryption.

How is the random ciphertext in RSA encryption algorithm implemented?

When I used rsa library to encrypt content in Python,
I found that even if the same public key and the same plaintext were used,
the output content was different each time, and the output ciphertext could be decrypted perfectly.
So I want to know how the RSA encryption algorithm implements this algorithm with different encryption results each time.
The following is the source code and the ciphertext output for many times.
import rsa
data = b'hello, world'
pk = rsa.PublicKey(21968272887747488664299300886573437453854580842272801065486318320328573181104433915148345103361664593733184722692105149694142557011266255075972021704711966860643495011049367729520386363274015109405027569939049707059547205662044677513224725454246882263137472476944688288600202939249708651097639414591301098996178101611307541565108035735952182518865647460401330824147744542993709272159435504287548711774248609991298003738752699597664282754244110245104529559246443251024491287411685325071990133422302961361831613169335261576570530061643400976849033234171349450189113706076777344091951159628029458250885131329209309850429, 65537)

Any asymmetric encryption method has to be randomized, so that if you encrypt the same plaintext twice, you don't get the same ciphertext. Otherwise it would be very insecure. Anyone who has the public key can encrypt something. Suppose an adversary has a ciphertext, they want to find out the plaintext, and they have partial information about the plaintext (e.g. they know it's a message in a certain format, but they don't know the exact content). They can try encrypting possible values of the plaintext until the result is the ciphertext they want to break. But since the encryption is randomized, they need to use the same data input and the same random value, otherwise they won't get the same ciphertext. And the adversary can't know what random value went into the ciphertext they want to break.
For RSA, in practice, there are two methods for doing encryption. Both are defined by the document known as PKCS#1. Both take the plaintext to encrypt and apply a transformation to it that involves either appending random data (PKCS#1 v1.5) or masking with random data (PSS). Then the result undergoes the well-known exponentiation part of RSA.
You can use the exponentiation to inspect a ciphertext.

That last value is the padded plaintext. You can see the data in there, with padding before it. This is the PKCS#1 v1.5 padding method (which is insecure unless used very carefully, and should not be used except for backward compatibility with systems that require it).

Get AES key from encrypted value + plaintext, with CTR mode and know counter

I have a pair of encrypted value + plaintext, the encrypt code looks like this:
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Util import Counter
......
cryptor = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CTR, counter=counter)
Suppose that I already know the counter, and I have a pair of encrypted value + plaintext, then is it possible to get the key?
If it is possible, then how to achieve that in detail in python?
By the way, I tried several times with same counter and CTR mode, it always generate the same encrypted output, so I believe the answer is yes?
This is not possible.
Generally speaking, both with symmetric encryption and with asymmetric encryption, it's not possible to obtain the key by looking at known plaintext and ciphertext, even when the attacker can submit additional plaintext for encryption and additional ciphertext for decryption. There are often ways to misuse cryptographic primitives that allow attackers to do more than they should: for example, many weaknesses that only allows attackers to get some plaintext encrypted can be leveraged to also get ciphertext decrypted. But the attacker can't obtain the key from outputs of the encryption or decryption process.
There are common weaknesses in implementations of cryptography that allow attackers to reconstruct the key, but they require intermediate values from the calculations. Those values normally only live in memory for a short time, if at all, but a careless implementation might leak them through side channels.
With a plaintext and the corresponding ciphertext encrypted in CTR mode, you can potentially decrypt other ciphertext if the counter value has been reused for some other plaintext (which would be a misuse of CTR). (Note that what matters is the counter value, which is incremented for each block, and not just the initial counter value that's used for the first block.) But you can't decrypt plaintext encrypted with different counter values.

Using hexes for AES decryption in python?

Part of an assignment is finding from a list of hex, the hex that responds to your secret key (made with sha256 and your id).
This is just the main applicable snippet of my code where 908a62b065abd3da8d92f1225600ed2e78a2a471a2395829afe89fffb7aef21f is the hex digest that I will use as my key, and EBBB632DA3240F6277C20830D6774213 is one of the texts I'm testing (EMDs: https://imgur.com/a/14H3ZpD, my key should be decoding one).
I've tried each one, and none has worked. I feel that because of the modifications I make while passing, is most likely where my mistake is?
I'm just not sure how variable type affects the decryption? If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here or has pointers about AES decryption in Python, I would be incredibly grateful, thank you.
key = binascii.unhexlify('908a62b065abd3da8d92f1225600ed2e78a2a471a2395829afe89fffb7aef21f')
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_ECB)
def decrypt(ciphertext):
tempText = cipher.decrypt(ciphertext).decode('latin-1')
l = tempText.count('{')
return tempText[:len(tempText)-l]
print(decrypt(binascii.unhexlify('EBBB632DA3240F6277C20830D6774213')))

Bytes to string in AES encryption and decryption in Python 3

I want to do an AES encryption and decryption to string. but the key and message must be in bytes, so I converted the message to bytes by doing this:
b"string"
This is my AES code:
# Encryption
encryption_suite = AES.new(b'1234567812345678', AES.MODE_OCB)
cipher_text = encryption_suite.encrypt(b"A really secret message. Not for prying eyes.")
# Decryption
decryption_suite = AES.new(b'1234567812345678', AES.MODE_OCB)
plaintext = decryption_suite.decrypt(cipher_text)
however i need to turn the decrypted plain text back to string to be readable.
Currently the plaintext looks like this:
b'x\x85\x92\x9d\xe6\x0bJ\xfe\x9b(\x10G\x8e\x05\xc5\xf4\xcdA9\xc18\xb8_\xf9vbmK\x16\xf8\xa3\xb6'
I tried using
plaintext.decode(encoding='windows-1252')
and
plaintext.decode("utf-8").strip('\x00')
but all i get is this:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 3: character maps to
or this:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb1 in position 1: invalid start byte
I need to convert these bytes back to a readable string.. if you can help, that would be appreciated.
The main issue with your code is that you don't supply a nonce to AES.new(). OCB requires a nonce; if you don't supply one a random nonce will be created every time you create a new AES object, and so decryption will fail.
From the docs:
nonce (byte string): a non-repeatable value, of length between 1 and 15 bytes.. If not present, a random nonce of the recommended length (15 bytes) will be created.
You have two options, either create a nonce and pass it to AES.new() (in encryption and decryption) or use the random nonce created by AES during encryption.
Next, OCB is an authenticated encryption algorithm but it seems that you don't check the MAC. This is important because the MAC verifies the integrity of the ciphertext.
The encryption and decryption methods of AES accept and return bytes. You can convert the plaintext (if it is text) to string with .decode(). If you want to convert the ciphertext to string you'll have to base64-encode it first, in order to encode the raw bytes to ASCII characters (just remember to decode before decryption). b64encode() also returns bytes but can be converted to string easily.
An example,
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Random import get_random_bytes
from base64 import b64encode
key = get_random_bytes(16) # A 16 byte key for AES-128
nonce = get_random_bytes(15)
message = "A really secret message. Not for prying eyes.".encode()
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_OCB, nonce=nonce)
ciphertext, mac = cipher.encrypt_and_digest(message)
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_OCB, nonce=nonce)
plaintext = cipher.decrypt_and_verify(ciphertext, mac)
print(b64encode(ciphertext).decode())
#CSwHy3ir3MZ7yvZ4CzHbgYOsKgzhMqjq6wEuutU7vJJTJ0c38ExWkAY1QkLO
print(plaintext.decode())
#A really secret message. Not for prying eyes.
Note that if .decrypt_and_verify() fails to verify the MAC a ValueError exception will be raised, so you may want to use a try-except block. The nonce and mac values are not secret and it's safe to store them next to the ciphertext.
Finally, if you plan to derive a key from a passphrase you should use a password-based KDF. KDFs create strong keys, use salt and iterations, and they are very resistant to fruteforce attacks. You will find KDF functions in Crypto.Protocol.KDF.
You can't convert binary data to a string because it is inherently not a string. It's binary data. The chances of the output of your encryption just happening, by chance, to be a correctly formatted UTF8 string is pretty unlikely.
You should look at base64 instead. It bloats the data (3 bytes to 4 characters) but is better suited for your use case.
EDIT:. My mistake, I misunderstood your question. The output you have isn't correct, the first byte is not a '1' in UTF8. This is likely an issue with the encryption/decryption.
I think your encoding is "ISO-8859-1". So you can do:
plaintext.decode("ISO-8859-1")

Using Python PyCrypto with Perl Crypt::CBC

On one side I have a texts encrypted/decrypted with Perl's Crypt::CBC
my $key = 'key to the gates';
my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new(
-key => $key,
-cipher => 'Blowfish',
-salt => '12341234'
);
On the other side I have Python's PyCrypto that I need to decode the data from Perl, but also send text that the Perl cipher can read given the encryption.
I have the key from the Perl program, and encrypt_hex:ed passphrases from Perl sent to the Python system.
But Python seems to absolutely want to have the IV to do its job
cipher = Blowfish.new( self.key, Blowfish.MODE_CBC, self.iv )
return hexlify(cipher.encrypt(raw))
However, the Crypt::CBC documnetation seems to indicate that the IV is there already
"salt" -- Combine the passphrase with an 8-byte random value to
generate both the block cipher key and the IV from the
provided passphrase. The salt will be appended to the
beginning of the data stream allowing decryption to
regenerate both the key and IV given the correct
passphrase.
Is there any way to extract the IV from the key/passphrase via PyCrypto? Or does IV have to be sent separately in some way?
This might be a naive question but I don't work with this every day.
I know I can get the IV from the Perl side, but I really want to extract it on Python side if possible.
Crypt::CBC claims OpenSSL compatibility. This means that it performs an OpenSSL specific BytesToKey password-based key derivation function (PBKDF). During this derivation the IV is calculated as well. So the key you've provided for Crypt::CBC is actually treated as a password.
You have to lookup an implementation of EVP_BytesToKey and integrate that into your program. You can start with this code from GitHub:
def bytes_to_key(data, salt="12345678"):
# Simplified version of M2Crypto.m2.bytes_to_key(). Based on:
# https://github.com/ajmirsky/M2Crypto/blob/master/M2Crypto/EVP.py#L105
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8008253/c-sharp-version-of-openssl-evp-bytestokey-method
assert len(salt) == 8, len(salt)
data += salt
key = md5(data).digest()
key += md5(key + data).digest()
return key
Then take the first bytes for the key, and the next 8 bytes for the IV. But note the following statement for Crypt:CBC:
If -keysize is not specified, then Crypt::CBC will use the maximum length Blowfish key size of 56 bytes (448 bits).
So you may need a few more key += md5(key + data).digest() calls as the md5 output is only 128 bits.
