public class EncryptedDataAESExample
extends java.lang.Object

This example program creates an XML encoded value of ASN.1 type EncryptedData using the canonical XML Encoding Rules of ASN.1 (CXER). A value is encrypted using an AES Content Encryption Key (CEK).

Plaintext is encrypted, then a value type EncryptedData, is encoded. The encoded CMS message is then decoded, and the decoded result's decrypted value is compared with the initial plaintext value to determine if the encryption-decryption and encoding-decoding processes worked as expected.

This example generates a fresh 128 bit AES key and uses this key.

ASN.1 type EncryptedData is defined in IETF RFC 3852:2004 as:

 EncryptedData ::= SEQUENCE {
   version               CMSVersion,
   encryptedContentInfo  EncryptedContentInfo,
   unprotectedAttrs      [1] IMPLICIT UnprotectedAttributes  OPTIONAL
 }
        
 EncryptedContentInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
    contentType                 ContentType,
    contentEncryptionAlgorithm  ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier,
    encryptedContent            [0] IMPLICIT EncryptedContent  OPTIONAL
 }
 
 ContentType ::= CONTENTS.&id({Contents})  -- OBJECT IDENTIFIER
 
 ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
    algorithm   ALGORITHM.&id({ContentEncryptionAlgorithms}),
    parameters  ALGORITHM.&Type({ContentEncryptionAlgorithms}{@algorithm})  OPTIONAL
 }
 
 ContentEncryptionAlgorithms ALGORITHM ::= {
 
    ...  -- Expect additional content encryption alogorithm objects --
 }
 
 EncryptedContent ::= OCTET STRING
