∟JceSunDesPaddingTest.java - JCE DES Padding Test

This section provides a tutorial example to test the PKCS5Padding schema used by the DES implementation in the JDK JCE package.

Let's modify the above testing program to see how PKCS5Padding schema works.

Let's run this program with different options:

herong> javac JceSunDesPaddingTest.java

herong> java JceSunDesPaddingTest 1 DES/ECB/NoPadding
Key     : 133457799BBCDFF1
Message : 0123456789ABCDEF
Cipher  : 85E813540F0AB405
Expected: 85E813540F0AB405

herong> java JceSunDesPaddingTest 1 DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding
Key     : 133457799BBCDFF1
Message : 0123456789ABCDEF
Cipher  : 85E813540F0AB405FDF2E174492922F8
Expected: 85E813540F0AB405

herong> java JceSunDesPaddingTest 1 DES
Key     : 133457799BBCDFF1
Message : 0123456789ABCDEF
Cipher  : 85E813540F0AB405FDF2E174492922F8
Expected: 85E813540F0AB405

herong> java JceSunDesPaddingTest 3 DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding
Key     : 133457799BBCDFF1
Message : 0808080808080808
Cipher  : FDF2E174492922F8FDF2E174492922F8
Expected: FDF2E174492922F8

The results tells us that:

If the input block is 8-byte long, PKCS5Padding adds another a block of 8-byte.
The Cipher.getInstance("DES") method call is identical to Cipher.getInstance("DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding").
If the input block is 8-byte long, PKCS5Padding adds another a block of 8-byte with value of 0x08 for each padded byte.
