Our Online Store have the new products: RFID antenna board. Currently it can work with JC10M24R and JCOP4 card chips.
Compared with normal cards, the antenna board module has a smaller size and fixed holes, which is easy to integrate in the IOT(Internet Of Things) project.

cipher/ decipher with 3DES alg

Post by Ruenie » Wed Apr 26, 2017 11:46 pm

Hey guys,

I came across a problem recently. Hope you can figure me out.

I tried to cipher some text with 3DES alg with a key of 16 bytes. And I asked users to input the first part of my 16 bytes key - that is 8 characters. The second part is hard-coded.

I tried with simple key like "12345678". It ciphers without any problem. So I expected that the result could only be deciphered with that key. But the fact proved that what I thought was wrong. I can also decipher with a similar key, like "12345679".

Can anyone figure out the reason why this happened?

Thank you so much.

It seems that your problem has something to do with DES weak key. Do you use weak key?

I didn't use any weak key. Except 3DES, can I use other algorithms?

Try to use AES instead.

Provide sample code so that accurate advice on the problem with your 3DES implementation can be given. With only your brief description, nobody is able to properly visualize the problem.
