B4J Library jFileEncrypter

With this library you can

- encrypt a file
- decrypt a file
- get the content of a file as a Base64 encoded string (to store it in a database)
- save the content of a Base64 string to a file

En-/Decryption is done with RandomAccessFile. The PW is generated automatically (50 chars using lower-/uppercase letters and numbers). It returns a simple map.

Used libs:

- RAF
- StringUtils
- ByteConverter
- #AdditionalJar: bcprov-jdk15on-150 (expansion for RAF)

It has 4 methods:

EncryptOneFile (FilePath As String, FileName As String, ExportPath As String) As Map

Encrypts the given file. Returns a map with the generated filepassword, the file's path, the filename and the file's content as bytes. ".ENC" is added to the encrypted file.

Return values:

B4X:
ReturnValues.Put("EncFilePath", ExportPath)
ReturnValues.Put("EncFileName", FileName&".ENC")
ReturnValues.Put("FilePW", GenPW)
ReturnValues.Put("EncFileContent", FileBuffer)


DecryptOneFile (FilePath As String, FileName As String, ExportPath As String, FilePW As String) As Map

Decrypts the given file with the given pw, removes the ".ENC" suffix and writes it to the given path.

Return values:

B4X:
ReturnValues.Put("FilePath", ExportPath)
ReturnValues.Put("FileName", RealFilename)

RealFilename = The filename without the suffix


GetFileContentAsBase64String (FilePath As String, FileName As String) As Map

Gets the content of a file as a Base64 string

Return values:

B4X:
ReturnValues.Put("FileContentB64", FileString)

WriteFileContentFromBase64String (FilePath As String, FileName As String, Base64String) As Map

Saves the content of a Base64 string to a file

Return values:

B4X:
ReturnValues.Put("OK", "File written")

Error handling:

- check the result (map) for "Error" (file not found or decryption failure due to wrong pw)


Notes:

- It overwrites existing files
- safe the generated pw
- it's a beta version (I've tested it but... you never know)


Example:

B4X:
Dim fe As FileEncrypter
Dim r As Map
Dim FileContent As String

    'Encrypt file
    r=fe.EncryptOneFile(File.DirApp & "/MyFolder","Test.txt", File.DirApp & "/Export")

    'Decrypt file
    r=fe.DecryptOneFile(File.DirApp & "/MyFolder","Test.txt.ENC",File.DirApp & "/Export",r.Get("FilePW"))

    'Get content as Base64 string
    r=fe.GetFileContentAsBase64String(File.DirApp & "/MyFolder","Test.txt")

    Dim su As StringUtils
    Dim fc64b() As Byte
    Dim fc64s As String

    fc64s=r.Get("FileContentB64")

    'Convert to bytes
    fc64b=su.DecodeBase64(fc64s)

    'show content
    Log (Bconv.StringFromBytes(fc64b,"UTF8"))

    'write file from content of Base64 String
    fe.WriteFileContentFromBase64String(File.DirApp & "/MyFolder","B64.txt",fc64s)

Update: Added #AdditionalJar: bcprov-jdk15on-150 to the lib
