    Default Problem Encrypting a secret key

    Hows it going, I have generated a secret key using AES encryption, which is working perfectly. Now I intend the to encrypt that key using an RSA public key that i have generated elsewhere. Ive tried switching from AES to RSA, adding padding and ive also tried importing bouncy castle, but im not sure im doing that right. None of these methods seem to be working as I usually end up with the error - javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Data must not be longer than 117 bytes or this one java.security.InvalidKeyException: No installed provider supports this key: sun.security.rsa.RSAPublicKeyImpl. So im here to ask "Whats wrong with my code"
    import java.io.*;
    import java.security.*;
     
    import org.bouncycastle.*;
    import javax.crypto.*;
     
     
    public class ClientSecretKeyEncryption
    {
     
     protected static final String ALGORITHM = "RSA";   
      public static void main(String args[]) {
    //Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
     
       // Encrypts secret key using servers public key
     
       try {
     
     
          // File containing RSA Public key
          FileInputStream keyFIS = new FileInputStream("/Users/Client/RSAPublicKeyFile");
          ObjectInputStream keyOIS = new ObjectInputStream(keyFIS);
     
          // Create RSA cipher instance
          Cipher rsaCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
     
     
          // Read in the AES key
          Key RsaPublicKeyFile = (PublicKey) keyOIS.readObject();
     
            // Initialize the cipher for encryption
          rsaCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, (Key) RsaPublicKeyFile);
     
          keyOIS.close();
          keyFIS.close();
         // rsaCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, (PublicKey) keyOIS.readObject());
     
     
          // File for writing out encrypted secret key to server
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/Users/Server/ClientsEncryprtedSecretKey");
     
     
     
          //This brings in the secret key 
          File f = new File("/Users/Client/ClientsSecretKey");
          FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
          byte[]SecKey = new byte[(int)f.length()];
          in.read(SecKey);
     
          // Encrypt the Secret Key 
          byte[] EncSecKey = rsaCipher.doFinal(SecKey);
     
          // Write Secret Key to file
          fos.write(EncSecKey);
          fos.close();
     
     
     
      } catch (Exception e) {
         System.out.println(e);
        }
     
     }
    }

    Any help on this issue would be must appreciated, ive been googling the issue for the past 2 days now and have found no satisfactory answers. Cheers in advance

    You need to adjust your JCE policy files. Google for that.

    Well not sure what you meant by "adjust" so I assumed that I needed to get the latest. I downloaded this and put them into the right folder making sure to replace the old ones. Unfortunately this did not fix the problem as I still get this error-java.security.InvalidKeyException: No installed provider supports this key: sun.security.rsa.RSAPublicKeyImpl

    Search for: "UnlimitedJCEPolicy"
    There are jar files in the JRE that need to be changed.

    Can you post the code to create the RSAPublicKeyFile file?
    And the ClientsSecretKey file?

    And any other data the program needs to execute.

    You will need to create a folder for both Client and Server for it to run, change the directory if needed.

    That code has too many hard coded paths for easy testing. I don't want to set up lots of directories. For testing I want to be able to put all the files in one folder by easily changing the path to the files in one place. For example:
     public static String pathToPubKey = "RSAPublicKeyFile.key";
    Then that String variable would be used where ever the code needs that path.


    The catch() blocks need calls to printStackTrace() so the location of the error can be found.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    yeah sorry about that, but the paths are essential to the project, its not a lot of directories, just 2- a folder called "Client" and a folder called "Server", if your using a mac you can add these easy enough to the right directory, if not ill fix it up for you like you said.

    Ok, fix this so it works. I started making changes before I found that there were a lot more files than just 2:

    ok ill change them all to just one folder, this is the directory ill be using "C:/Client/" so u can add the client folder there.

    That code still has hardcoded file paths.
    FileOutputStream keyFOS = new FileOutputStream(C:/Client/ClientsSecretKey);

    Can you define the path's each in a String like I did and then use those Strings in the code so that ONE change will change the path for all the places it is used?
    FileOutputStream keyFOS = new FileOutputStream(pathToClientsSecretKey);

    Gonna have to confess here, I dont really know how to setup that path idea you had, the hardcoding is all I need to do for the project.

    Here are two of the path Strings:
        static String pathToKey = "RSAPublicKeyFile.key";
        static String pathToClntSecKey = "C:/Client/ClientsSecretKey";
    Then those Strings are used where ever that file is accessed. For example:
      FileInputStream keyFIS = new FileInputStream(pathToKey);
    //  and
      FileOutputStream keyFOS = new FileOutputStream(pathToKey);
    All the hardcoded paths should be replaced with variables like the above.

    That makes it easy to change any and all of the paths because they are all coded in one place. It also has the benefit that you can not hardcode two paths that you want to be the same but are different because of a spelling error.

    right I hope thats it, just add what ever directory you want at the start.

    Where is the one main() that calls all of the other main() methods in the correct order?
    You have commented out where I started calling the other mains:
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    //   ClientSecretKeyEncryption.main(args);

    The ClientSecretKeyEncryption main() method tries to read the file: pathToKey before it is written later in the same method????

    The path name Strings should NOT be in"s. The names are variables that have the values to be used.

    yeah, that gave me an error, I took it out and boom everything worked, the 3 are separate for the moment, but all should work.

    --- Update ---

    run the serverkeygen first, then the client random key generator second, and finally run the client key encryption, which is the one with the original problems.

    Can you make a class with a main() method that calls all the methods in the correct order? I don't like having to execute more than one class when testing. Testing often requires repeated execution so having it all in one class makes it easier to do it correctly.
