Kelly Schoenhofen Problem with decryption Reply | Threaded |
Hey all – sorry how stupid this is going to sound,
but while we don’t use Bouncy Castle a partner
of ours does, and we’d like some technical
assistance for a product we’re not even using ;)
Full story: We encrypt a file for a partner we do
business with, they decrypt it with Bouncy Castle
(they say). In fact, just to get it out of the way,
this is from our partner:
“The version of Bouncy Castle is for JDK 1.4.
The signed .jar file in use is entitled ‘bcprov-
jdk14-135.jar.zip’. The Source file is entitled
‘bcpg-jdk14-135.jar.zip’. “
For a really long time we used PGP Desktop 8.02
to encrypt their files, ftp it to them and they
decrypted it. We’ve been moving our PGP
Desktop implementations to a more lights-out
friendly solution powered by the Eldos Secure
Blackbox PGP SDK; we switched this particular
partner to the Eldos SDK and they immediately
came back and said they can’t decrypt the file
encrypted with Eldos anymore. They did some
byte comparisons and the first thing they/we
noticed is it looked like Eldos wasn’t putting a
marker packet in the beginning of the encrypted
file. We’ve tried to address that “issue” and our
partner still says they are still unable to decrypt.
Here’s the error from our business partner that
they forwarded to us, we cannot make heads or
tails of it; we have no idea what it means other
than PGP decryption failed. Has anyone else

seen this, and can they point us in the right
direction? Is this even a Bouncy Castle error?

There is no Bouncycastle error in this stack
trace, in fact the only error you see is an
IOException which is a generic io error, which
could point to the fact that they did not correctly
read in the file at all. Nobody can help you with a
stacktrace like this, if you dont see any
org.bouncycastle.* packages or errors - then it
aint a bouncycastle problem. They should supply
you the except error message from bouncycastle

and - the code they used from bouncycastle to
decrypt the file.
Alternatively, just try to decrypt a test file with
BC yourself - it aint that hard - there are quiet a
few pgp examples in the bouncycastle API -
there has been a console bc api releases a few
days ago too.
