Re^3: Java to perl conversion

... 1. Generate a 256 byte array 2. perl code to convert the characters from stringdata to byte. Thanks

Um, you don't need to turn a string into an array to generate an md5sum, see Digest::MD5

You also don't need an array for Crypt::Twofish

perlintro explains about perl variable types, perldata explains further, then binmode and perlunitut

No, One probably won't need to, but I have to match an API cipher To explain The encryption cipher from JAVA is out of my hands and generated by an API I somehow need to match the same cipher in perl JAVA CODE to generate the *Cipher* String key = "just a bunch of text"; byte[] bytes = new byte[256]; byte[] kbytes = key.getBytes(); for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) { if (i < kbytes.length) { bytes[i] = kbytes[i]; } else { bytes[i] = (byte) i; } } byte[] md5digest = md5DigestAsBytes(bytes); try { theGeneratedKey = Twofish_Algorithm.makeKey(md5digest); blockSize = Twofish_Algorithm.blockSize(); catch (java.security.InvalidKeyException ike) { throw new Exception(Exception.E_SECURITY, "Invalid security key ' +" + new String(md5digest) + "'", ike); } [download] Question should read: I need to match the exact same cipher in Perl to be able to utilize Crypt::Twofish and decrypt the data. How can I do this in Perl This is my first post here.	[reply] [d/l]

No, One probably won't need to, but I have to match an API cipher ... :) repeat with emphasis so are you going to post some data, or do we have to install java to generate some?	[reply]
