I build a client and a server in golang both are using this functions to encrypt/decrypt
func encrypt(text []byte) ([]byte, error) {
block, err := aes.NewCipher(key)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
b := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(text)
ciphertext := make([]byte, aes.BlockSize+len(b))
iv := ciphertext[:aes.BlockSize]
if _, err := io.ReadFull(rand.Reader, iv); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
cfb := cipher.NewCFBEncrypter(block, iv)
cfb.XORKeyStream(ciphertext[aes.BlockSize:], []byte(b))
return ciphertext, nil
}
func decrypt(text []byte) ([]byte, error) {
block, err := aes.NewCipher(key)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
if len(text) < aes.BlockSize {
return nil, errors.New("ciphertext too short")
}
iv := text[:aes.BlockSize]
text = text[aes.BlockSize:]
cfb := cipher.NewCFBDecrypter(block, iv)
cfb.XORKeyStream(text, text)
data, err := base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(string(text))
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return data, nil
}
so yeah I make a normal post request
url := "https://"+configuration.Server+configuration.Port+"/get"
// TODO maybe bugs rest here
ciphertext, err := encrypt([]byte(*getUrl))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error: " + err.Error())
}
fmt.Println(string(ciphertext))
values := map[string]interface{}{"url": *getUrl, "urlCrypted": ciphertext}
jsonValue, _ := json.Marshal(values)
jsonStr := bytes.NewBuffer(jsonValue)
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, jsonStr)
and the servercode is as following
requestContent := getRequestContentFromRequest(req)
url := requestContent["url"].(string)
undecryptedUrl := requestContent["urlCrypted"].(string)
decryptedurl, err := decrypt([]byte(undecryptedUrl))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error: " + err.Error())
}
fmt.Println(decryptedurl)
where getRequestContentFromRequest is as following
func getRequestContentFromRequest(req *http.Request)
map[string]interface{} {
buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
buf.ReadFrom(req.Body)
data := buf.Bytes()
var requestContent map[string]interface{}
err := json.Unmarshal(data, &requestContent)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
return requestContent
}
Now to the problem. If I encrypt my string in the client and decrypt it direct after that everything is fine.
But, when I send the encrypted string to the server and try to decrypt it with literrally the same function as in the client, the decrypt function throws an error.
Error: illegal base64 data at input byte 0
I think the Problem is the unmarshalling of the JSON.
Thanks for help.

UPDATE
Example JSON
{"url":"facebook2.com","urlCrypted":"/}\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdgP\ufffdN뼞\ufffd\u0016\ufffd)\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdy\u001c\u000f\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdep\ufffdY\ufffd\ufffd$\ufffd\ufffd"}
UPDATE2
I made a playground here
