Am trying to create a simple encryption/decryption using pycryptodome but keeping getting the following error:
ValueError: Error 3 while encrypting in CBC mode
after some digging I saw that you get this error if there is not enough data to encrypt, as in there is no padding in effect. The thing is that I've added a padding function. After debugging it seems as if my code literally skips the padding part completely and causes this error. What am I doing wrong?
import os, random
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Hash import SHA256
def encrypt(key, filename):
chunksize = 64*1024
outputfile = filename + "(encrypted)"
filesize = str(os.path.getsize(filename)).zfill(16)
IV =''
for i in range(16):
IV += chr(random.randint(0, 0xFF))
encryptor = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, IV.encode("latin-1"))
with open(filename, 'rb') as infile:
with open(outputfile, 'wb') as outfile:
outfile.write(filesize.encode("latin-1"))
outfile.write(IV.encode("latin-1"))
while True:
chunk = infile.read(chunksize)
print(len(chunk))
if len(chunk) == 0:
break
elif len(chunk) % 16 != 0:
chunk += ' ' * (16 - (len(chunk) % 16))
outfile.write(encryptor.encrypt(chunk))
def decrypt(key, filename):
chunksize = 64 *1024
outputfile = filename[:11]
with open(filename, 'rb') as infile:
filesize = int(infile.read(16))
IV = infile.read(16)
decryptor = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, IV.encode("latin-1"))
with open(outputfile, 'wb') as outfile:
while True:
chunk = infile.read(chunksize)
if len(chunk) == 0:
break
outfile.write(decryptor.decrypt(chunk))
outfile.truncate(filesize)
