CRC32 Checksum between Java and JavaCard

[Riddle]

I am working on sending a message with a CRC32 code from the java host to the java card.

Host:
I create a checksum and send it with the message to the card:

Code: Select all

Checksum checksum = new CRC32();
checksum.update(rawData, 0, rawData.length); 
long checksum_value = checksum.getValue();

Card:
I also create a checksum.

Code: Select all

Checksum checksum = Checksum.getInstance(Checksum.ALG_ISO3309_CRC32, false);
checksum.doFinal(data, (short)0, (short)data.length, checksum_value, (short)0); 

The result is different from what the host creates.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

What is the initial value that your Java CRC32 starts with?

Suppose that Java CRC32 starts with an initial value from 0xFFFFFFFF.
You should set the card to this initial value.

Code: Select all

byte[] ini = new byte[]{(byte)0xFF, (byte)0xFF, (byte)0xFF, (byte)0xFF};
checksum.init(ini, (short)0, (short)ini.length);

Yes, for algorithm ALG_ISO3309_CRCXX, the initialize value is 0xFFFF(16 bits)/0xFFFFFFFF(32 bits).
