How to encrypt

843811

Hi:


I am new to JCE and wantt to develop a application wherein I can retreive aa file from the local system and using a Password(with MD5) generate a Cryptographic Key...

The Key is then used for encryption of the file.Problem is I am unable to encrypt the file...

My code is as foloows.Sugest me as to where i am getting wrong.This is part of the complete code:

>>>>>>>>>>>>
try
{
pwdseed=txtPasswordSeed.getText();
pwd_seed=_pwd_seed.getBytes();
secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(pwd_seed, "PBEWithMD5AndDES");
}catch(Exception e7){}

lblMsgs.setText("The new seed is set");
lblMsgs.setText("Encryptiing File ........");
//Encrypt the File
try
{
String finfilename = "";//for final Filename extracted from absolute path
String fi_filename="";//for the process of getting actual file name
String infilename = txtFilename.getText();//This is the actual file with absolte path given by user

//StringTokenizer for infile to get actual file name from absolute path
StringTokenizer stzinFile=new StringTokenizer(infilename,"\\");

while(stzinFile.hasMoreTokens()){
fi_filename = stzinFile.nextToken();
}

StringTokenizer stzinFile1=new StringTokenizer(fi_filename,".");
finfilename = stzinFile1.nextToken();

//String osname = System.getProperty("os.name");

//Getting user current working directory
//if (osname.indexOf("Windows",0) != -1)
//{
//String tmpdir = System.getProperty("user.dir");//Getting system temdirectory to store ENC file
//}

String outFilename ="";
outFilename="C:"+"\\"+finfilename+".enc";

/Initialize the Cipher
cenc1=Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
cenc1.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE,secretKey,random);

//Read a InputStream
//FilePermission per=new FilePermission(infilename,"read");

fis=new FileInputStream(infilename);
cis1 = new CipherInputStream(fis, cenc1);

//Writing the content-encrypted to a new file(*.enc)
fos=new FileOutputStream(outFilename);
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = fis.read(buf)) > 0) {
fos.write(buf, 0, len);
}
fos.close();
fis1.close();
lblMsgs.setText(outFilename);
}catch(Exception e8)
{
lblMsgs.setText("There is a error");
System.err.print("The error is"+e8);
}
//txtFilename.setText("");
}

.

I am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException at e8.


Kindly let me know why I amgetting this error and why I am unable to encrypt the file.

Your program is working fine for me after making some changes but i could not get ur logic becos the resulting file to having the same content.

NullPointerException usually occurs when we forget to allocate the memory for the defined object in your program u would have declared FileInputStream fis and u r using fis1 or else you haven't allocate the memory for the object which you are using inside the try catch block just go thru it again

here i added the corrected program but i didnot change ur logic. what i have attached is working fine (creating the file filetry.enc in c:\\)
