.NET 2.0 Rijndael class and Poco::Crypto compatibility

[changire]

Hi,
I'm using the .NET 2.0 based implementation of the Rijndael class for encrypting data with a 256 bit key and attempting to decrypt the encrypted data with the same KEY and IV using Poco::Crypto APIs (poco-1.4.3p1) both running on the Windows XP platform.

However, the decryption fails. Any specific things that I could be missing or ought to keep and eye on?
Any configuration parameters to get the .NET 2.0 and Poco::Crypto modules in sync?

Regards,
Milind

Here's the IO Exception that get's thrown while decrypting:

I/O error: error:0606506D:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:wrong final block length

I'm no expert in this but even if i was one, there's not enough information to form a meaningful advice. I'd try to decrypt same data with another tool. That will cut your problem in half and you'll know on which side it is and whether this is the appropriate place to seek help.

Thanks for the response alex.

In my case the problem was that I hadn't opened the input stream to the Cipher object in std::ios::binary mode.

Opening the stream in std::ios::binary mode did the trick.
