Troubleshooting

Decrypt a String Using an AES Key

Create a NAE Session. Pass NAE username, password, and property file path as arguments.
```
NaeSession session = new NaeSession(user, passwd, propFilePath);
```
Create an NaeRijndaelKey object. Pass the NaeSession object and keyname as arguments.
```
NaeRijndaelKey key = new NaeRijndaelKey(session, keyname);
```

Specify an IV, if necessary, by creating a new byte array.

byte[] iv = { 0x30, 0x31, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38, 0x39, 0x30, 0x31,
0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35 };
key.IV = iv;

Set key mode and padding.

key.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
key.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;

Decrypt the data.

ICryptoTransform decryptor = key.CreateDecryptor();
System.IO.MemoryStream memstr2 = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
CryptoStream decrstr = new CryptoStream(memstr2, key.CreateDecryptor(),
CryptoStreamMode.Write);
decrstr.Write(encrBytes, 0, encrBytes.Length);
decrstr.Close();
byte[] decrBytes = memstr2.ToArray();
Console.WriteLine("Decrypted {0} bytes: {1}", Convert.ToString(decrBytes.Length),
new String(Encoding.UTF8.GetChars(decrBytes)));

Note

The CreateDecryptor API doesn't support decrypting large data using chunking mechanism. To decrypt large data, refer to Encrypting/Decrypting a File.
