openssl command line to decrypt aes ctr 128 - c

I'm using the following working code to decrypt a file:
#include <openssl/aes.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
struct ctr_state {
unsigned char ivec[16];
unsigned int num;
unsigned char ecount[16];
};
FILE *fp;
FILE *rp;
FILE *op;
size_t count;
char * buffer;
AES_KEY key;
int bytes_read, bytes_written;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char ckey[] = "1234567890123456";
unsigned char iv[8] = {0};
struct ctr_state state;
void init_ctr(struct ctr_state *state, const unsigned char iv[8]){
state->num = 0;
memset(state->ecount, 0, 16);
memset(state->ivec + 8, 0, 8);
memcpy(state->ivec, iv, 8);
}
void decrypt(){
//Opening files where text cipher text is read and the plaintext recovered
rp=fopen("c:\\temp\\decrypted.mp3","wb");
op=fopen("c:\\temp\\encrypted.mp3","rb");
if (rp==NULL) {fputs ("File error",stderr); return;}
if (op==NULL) {fputs ("File error",stderr); return;}
//Initializing the encryption KEY
AES_set_encrypt_key(ckey, 128, &key);
init_ctr(&state, iv);//Counter call
//Encrypting Blocks of 16 bytes and writing the output.txt with ciphertext
while (1) {
bytes_read = fread(indata, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, op);
AES_ctr128_encrypt(indata, outdata, bytes_read, &key, state.ivec, state.ecount, &state.num);
bytes_written = fwrite(outdata, 1, bytes_read, rp);
if (bytes_read < AES_BLOCK_SIZE)
break;
}
fclose (rp);
fclose (op);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
decrypt();
return 0;
}
Is it possible to do the same thing using the openssl command line?
AFAIK, there's no -aes-128-ctr cipher but is there any equivalent in openssl?

No version of the openssl(1) command line tool that I've checked appears to support counter mode for any cipher.

How to convert AES_encrypt in counter mode to EVP interfaces?

I'm in the process of coding some stuff around common-encryption which require AES Ctr 128. So I'm digging a bit with crypto stuff.
Currently I test a code (find here) which work (encrypt/decrypt a file):
#include <openssl/aes.h>
#include <openssl/rand.h>
#include <openssl/hmac.h>
#include <openssl/buffer.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
struct ctr_state {
unsigned char ivec[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned int num;
unsigned char ecount[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
};
void print_hex(unsigned char *c) {
for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
printf("%02X.", c[i]);
}
printf("\n");
}
void init_ctr(struct ctr_state *state, const unsigned char iv[16]) {
state->num = 0;
memset(state->ecount, 0, 16);
memset(state->ivec + 8, 0, 8);
memcpy(state->ivec, iv, 8);
}
void fencrypt(char* read, char* write, const unsigned char* enc_key) {
FILE *readFile;
FILE *writeFile;
AES_KEY key;
int bytes_read;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char iv[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
struct ctr_state state;
RAND_bytes(iv, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
print_hex(iv);
readFile = fopen(read,"rb");
writeFile = fopen(write,"wb");
AES_set_encrypt_key(enc_key, 128, &key);
init_ctr(&state, iv);
fwrite(state.ivec, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, writeFile);
print_hex(state.ivec);
while(1) {
bytes_read = fread(indata, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, readFile);
AES_ctr128_encrypt(indata, outdata, bytes_read, &key, state.ivec, state.ecount, &state.num);
print_hex(state.ivec);
fwrite(outdata, 1, bytes_read, writeFile);
if (bytes_read < AES_BLOCK_SIZE) {

This work well. But It seems that the standard is to to use EVP functions now with openssl. So I try to adapt my code but something is clearly wrong with my implementations. I don't understand on how properly update/increment the IV vector.
Here my new code with EVP (work but not increment/counter):
#include <openssl/aes.h>
#include <openssl/rand.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct ctr_state {
EVP_CIPHER_CTX* cipher;
int num;
};
void print_hex(unsigned char *c) {
for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
printf("%02X.", c[i]);
}
printf("\n");
}
void init_ctr(struct ctr_state *state, unsigned char iv[16], unsigned char* key) {
state->num = 0;
state->cipher = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new();
EVP_EncryptInit_ex(state->cipher, EVP_aes_128_ctr(), NULL, key, iv);
}
void fencrypt(char* read, char* write, unsigned char* enc_key) {
FILE *readFile;
FILE *writeFile;
int bytes_read;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char iv[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
struct ctr_state state;
RAND_bytes(iv, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
readFile = fopen(read,"rb");
writeFile = fopen(write,"wb");
fwrite(iv, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, writeFile);
init_ctr(&state, iv, enc_key);
print_hex(iv);
while(1) {
bytes_read = fread(indata, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, readFile);
EVP_EncryptUpdate(state.cipher, outdata, &state.num, indata, bytes_read);
EVP_EncryptUpdate(state.cipher, outdata, &state.num, indata, bytes_read);

if (bytes_read < AES_BLOCK_SIZE) {
break;
}
}
fclose(writeFile);
fclose(readFile);
}
void fdecrypt(char* read, char* write, unsigned char* enc_key) {

fencrypt("encme.txt", "enced.enc", (unsigned char*)secret);
fdecrypt("enced.enc", "unenced.txt", (unsigned char*)secret);
}
Any help appreciated. Thank you.
OK I think I got it.
I will copy here my two program example:
AES_CTR_128 (without EVP) :
#include <openssl/aes.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct ctr_state {
unsigned int num;
unsigned char ivec[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char ecount[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
};
void init_ctr(struct ctr_state *state, const unsigned char iv[16]) {
state->num = 0;
memset(state->ecount, 0, 16);
memset(state->ivec + 8, 0, 8);
memcpy(state->ivec, iv, 8);
}
void fencrypt(char* read, char* write, const unsigned char* enc_key) {
FILE *readFile;
FILE *writeFile;
AES_KEY key;
int bytes_read;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
struct ctr_state state;
unsigned char *iv = (unsigned char *)"0123456789012345";
readFile = fopen(read,"rb");
writeFile = fopen(write,"wb");
fwrite(iv, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, writeFile);
AES_set_encrypt_key(enc_key, 128, &key);
init_ctr(&state, iv);
while(1) {
bytes_read = fread(indata, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, readFile);
AES_ctr128_encrypt(indata, outdata, bytes_read, &key, state.ivec, state.ecount, &state.num);
fwrite(outdata, 1, bytes_read, writeFile);
if (bytes_read < AES_BLOCK_SIZE) {
break;
}
}
fclose(writeFile);
fclose(readFile);
}
void fdecrypt(char* read, char* write, const unsigned char* enc_key) {
FILE *readFile;
FILE *writeFile;
AES_KEY key;
int bytes_read;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char iv[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
struct ctr_state state;
readFile=fopen(read,"rb");
writeFile=fopen(write,"wb");
fread(iv, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, readFile);
AES_set_encrypt_key(enc_key, 128, &key);

while(1) {

}

fencrypt("encme.txt", "enced.enc", secret);
fdecrypt("enced.enc", "unenced.txt", secret);
}
Everything classic as in another example.
The IV(or nonce) is constant to make the debugging easier (don't do that).
And below my code with EVP:
#include <openssl/aes.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int nb;
unsigned int n;
unsigned long l=length;

while (l--) {
if (n == 0) {
EVP_EncryptUpdate(cipher, ecount_buf, &nb, counter, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
AES_ctr128_inc(counter);
}

n = (n+1) % AES_BLOCK_SIZE;

void init_ctr(struct ctr_state *state, unsigned char iv[16], unsigned char* key) {

memset(state->ecount, 0, 16);
memset(state->ivec + 8, 0, 8);
memcpy(state->ivec, iv, 8);
state->cipher = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new();
EVP_EncryptInit_ex(state->cipher, EVP_aes_128_ecb(), NULL, key, NULL);
}
void fencrypt(char* read, char* write, unsigned char* enc_key) {
FILE *readFile;
FILE *writeFile;
int bytes_read;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
struct ctr_state state;
unsigned char *iv = (unsigned char *)"0123456789012345";
readFile = fopen(read,"rb");
writeFile = fopen(write,"wb");
fwrite(iv, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, writeFile);
init_ctr(&state, iv, enc_key);
while(1) {
bytes_read = fread(indata, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, readFile);
AES_ctr128_EVPencrypt(state.cipher, indata, outdata, bytes_read, state.ivec, state.ecount, &state.num);
fwrite(outdata, 1, bytes_read, writeFile);
if (bytes_read < AES_BLOCK_SIZE) {
break;
}
}
fclose(writeFile);
fclose(readFile);
}
void fdecrypt(char* read, char* write, unsigned char* enc_key) {
FILE *readFile;
FILE *writeFile;
int bytes_read;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char iv[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
struct ctr_state state;
readFile = fopen(read,"rb");
writeFile = fopen(write,"wb");
fread(iv, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, readFile);
init_ctr(&state, iv, enc_key);
while(1) {
bytes_read = fread(indata, 1, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, readFile);
AES_ctr128_EVPencrypt(state.cipher, indata, outdata, bytes_read, state.ivec, state.ecount, &state.num);
fwrite(outdata, 1, bytes_read, writeFile);

}
}
fclose(writeFile);
fclose(readFile);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
unsigned char *secret = (unsigned char *)"0123456789012345";

}
So I basically copy the AES_ctr_encrypt function to use EVP, and adapt it.
It work for me, as I can use both implementation to encrypt/decrypt the same program.
Comments are welcome.
Questions remain that what do the aes_ctr_128 in EVP ? and how to use it?
I think I have reinvented the wheel.
In {EVP_aes_N_ctr()} the counter state is kept in {ctx->iv}, treated as an 128 big-endian integer, counting the crypto blocks, starting from the IV given to the Init function. This counter tells the number of the next crypto block to be encrypted/decrypted. This works with random access, i.e. ctx->iv can be computed manually before an *Update call, if on crypto block boundary. As soon as at least one byte is returned from a cipher op, the counter is updated to hold the next crypto block to be processed. If byte-level random access is wanted, there is also {ctx->num} that holds the byte offset into the current crypto block. For this to work, the block must have been started on, i.e. a cipher op where {ctx->num} was equal to zero must have been issued, in order to correctly setup the internal state.
Below is a stupid, but still working example of how CTR mode can be used for random access decryption.
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
static void add_be_128(uint8_t *ctr, ptrdiff_t delta) {
for (int n = 15; delta != 0 && n >= 0; n--) {
// The risk of overflow can safely be neglected.
ptrdiff_t nval = ctr[n] + delta;
ctr[n] = nval & 0xff;
delta = nval >> 8;
}
}
int main() {
uint8_t in[] =
"0123456789abcdeffedcba9876543210fedcba98765432100123456789abcdef";
uint8_t out[64];
int sz;
uint8_t cmp[33];
uint8_t key[] = {
0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef, 0xc0, 0x01, 0xd0, 0x0d,
0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef, 0xc0, 0x01, 0xd0, 0x0d
};
uint8_t iv[] = {
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
};
EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new();
EVP_EncryptInit_ex(ctx, EVP_aes_128_ctr(), NULL, key, iv);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding(ctx, 0);
EVP_EncryptUpdate(ctx, out, &sz, in, sizeof in);
EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(ctx, out + sz, &sz);
EVP_DecryptInit_ex(ctx, EVP_aes_128_ctr(), NULL, key, iv);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding(ctx, 0);
add_be_128(ctx->iv, 1);
EVP_DecryptUpdate(ctx, cmp, &sz, out + 16, 32);
EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(ctx, cmp + sz, &sz);
cmp[32] = 0;
printf("%s %d\n", cmp, strncmp(in + 16, cmp, 32));
EVP_DecryptInit_ex(ctx, EVP_aes_128_ctr(), NULL, key, iv);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding(ctx, 0);
int new = ctx->num + 8;
add_be_128(ctx->iv, (new - 1) / 16);
ctx->num = 0;
EVP_DecryptUpdate(ctx, cmp, &sz, out, 1);
ctx->num = new;
EVP_DecryptUpdate(ctx, cmp, &sz, out + 8, 32);
EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(ctx, cmp + sz, &sz);
cmp[32] = 0;
printf("%s %d\n", cmp, strncmp(in + 8, cmp, 32));
}
Here is my solution when I had to use the EVP openssl functions. Should work with every available cipher

Improve this question
I'm trying to encrypt and decrypt txt file using AES in C.
but I got problem.
I watched binary of plain.txt and decrypted.txt.
so There's not same binary.
I want to make same binary.

You're basically not following the letter of the instructions on how to invoke the API's you're calling. Among the things wrong:
The EVP_EncryptUpdate function encrypts the given data, storing the size of the encryption output in its size out param, which you're basically ignoring. The same is true on the decryption side.
You blast over the initial encrypted/decrypted data block with your invoke of EVP_EncryptFinal (and EVP_DecryptFinal), in contradiction to precisely what the libcrypto documentation specifically warns you NOT to do.
Your output size in both functions is wrong. You're writing fsize bytes, which was the input size, not the output size. the latter is provided in the output-size params which you're ignoring (see the first item in this list).
The following functions do what you want. Compare them to what you had (wishful thinking on my part). I took the liberty of not using encrypt as the name, as that is a commonly provided DES function in unistd.h.
void encrypt_data(FILE *ifp, FILE *ofp)
{
fseek(ifp, 0L, SEEK_END);
long fsize = ftell(ifp);
fseek(ifp, 0L, SEEK_SET);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX ctx;
int outlen=0;
unsigned char *indata = malloc(fsize);
unsigned char *outdata;
unsigned blocksize;
unsigned char ckey[] = "thiskeyisverybadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab";
unsigned char ivec[] = "dontusethisinputaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab";
fread(indata, sizeof(unsigned char), fsize, ifp);
EVP_EncryptInit(&ctx, EVP_aes_256_cbc(), ckey, ivec);
// round up to nearest block size, this will add a complete
// block of additional padding if the input size is perfectly
// a factor of the block size
blocksize = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_block_size(&ctx);
outdata = malloc(((fsize + blocksize)/blocksize) * blocksize);
EVP_EncryptUpdate(&ctx, outdata, &outlen, indata, (int)fsize);
fwrite(outdata, 1, outlen, ofp);
EVP_EncryptFinal(&ctx, outdata, &outlen);
fwrite(outdata, 1, outlen, ofp);
free(indata);
free(outdata);
}
void decrypt_data(FILE *ifp, FILE *ofp)
{
fseek(ifp, 0L, SEEK_END);
long fsize = ftell(ifp);
fseek(ifp, 0L, SEEK_SET);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX ctx;
int outlen = 0;
unsigned char *indata = malloc(2 * fsize);
unsigned char *outdata = indata + fsize;
unsigned char ckey[] = "thiskeyisverybadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab";
unsigned char ivec[] = "dontusethisinputaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab";
fread(indata, 1, fsize, ifp);
EVP_DecryptInit(&ctx, EVP_aes_256_cbc(), ckey, ivec);
EVP_DecryptUpdate(&ctx, outdata, &outlen, indata, (int)fsize);
fwrite(outdata, 1, outlen, ofp);
EVP_DecryptFinal(&ctx, outdata, &outlen);
fwrite(outdata, 1, outlen, ofp);
free(indata);
}
Those will work.
Best of luck.

AES CTR encryption and decryption

So I have this code, which basically, encrypts two plain text messages and then try to decrypt them, and print. The problem is that first message is recovered fine but the second is garbage. I downloaded this code from this tutorial and then modified it to work with strings instead of files as I need it for sending encrypted text over sockets. So length of the plaintext won't be known to other endpoint, is there a way to find the length or will I have to send the length of plaintext along with the cipher somehow?
Now, I think there is a problem in the break condition of decrypt.
Also, is the main() code right conceptually: encrypt messages with updating state and then reset state and decrypt messages with updating state?
And is there a way to find out the actual length of cipher text (not the buffer)?
This is just a dummy program that I was trying out to understand how AES CTR will work.

CTR mode doesn't need separate encrypt and decrypt method. Encryption key can be set once. OpenSSL's AES_ctr128_encrypt takes care of most of the work, so the code can be simplified.
Also we really need vector test. Here we are just testing with random text "quick brown fox...", we get back the same text, but there is NO guarantee that 'cipher' was correct, and wether or not the encryption is AES quality. I'll add a quick vector test later if there is time.

To encrypt/decrypt files, or send/receive:
void crypt_file(const u8* src_file, const u8* dst_file, const AES_KEY* key, const u8* iv)
{
struct ctr_state state;
init_ctr(&state, iv);
const int buffer_size = 512; //not less than 16
unsigned char buffer_in[buffer_size];
unsigned char buffer_out[buffer_size];
int bytes_read;
//open files and/or socket
//file/message loop
{
//read source, obtain buffer_in and bytes_read
AES_ctr128_encrypt(buffer_in, buffer_out, bytes_read, key, state.ivec, state.ecount, &state.num);
//write buffer_out/bytes_read to destination
}
//close handles
}
In your code, fdecrypt() contains strlen(cipher). However cipher is pure binary data, strlen doesn't work with it. You have to supply the length manually. I added len parameter to fdecrypt. In main I use strlen(plaintext) for simplicity, though it should be the true length of cipher data. Changes are denoted by ##change
void fdecrypt(unsigned int len, char* cipher, char* text, const unsigned char* enc_key, struct ctr_state* state)
{
AES_KEY key;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
int offset=0;
//Initializing the encryption KEY
if (AES_set_encrypt_key(enc_key, 128, &key) < 0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Could not set decryption key.");
exit(1);
}
//Encrypting Blocks of 16 bytes and writing the output.txt with ciphertext
while(1)
{
memcpy(indata, cipher+offset, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
//printf("%i\n", state.num);
AES_ctr128_encrypt(indata, outdata, AES_BLOCK_SIZE, &key, state->ivec, state->ecount, &state->num);
memcpy(text+offset, outdata, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
offset=offset+AES_BLOCK_SIZE;
//if (offset > strlen(cipher))##changed
if (offset > len)
{
break;
}
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned char iv[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
struct ctr_state state;
char* plain="quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog what ";
char* plain2="a dog he is idiot who is the genius ";
char cipher[128];
char cipher2[128];
char recovered[128];
char recovered2[128];
const unsigned char* enc_key=(const unsigned char*)"123456789abcdef0";
if(!RAND_bytes(iv, AES_BLOCK_SIZE))
{
fprintf(stderr, "Could not create random bytes.");
exit(1);
}
init_ctr(&state, iv); //Counter call
printf("Plain text length:%lu\n",strlen(plain));
// BIO_dump_fp(stdout, plain, strlen(plain));
// printf("Plain text:%s\n",plain);
fencrypt(plain, cipher,enc_key,&state);
fencrypt(plain2, cipher2,enc_key,&state);
// cipher[strlen(plain)]='\0';
// BIO_dump_fp(stdout, cipher, strlen(plain));
init_ctr(&state, iv); //Counter call
fdecrypt(strlen(plain), cipher,recovered,enc_key,&state);//##changed

printf("Recovered text:%s\n",recovered);

OpenSSL and AES

i'm working with OpenSSL lib and get very strange effect with AES encrypt/decrypt: if i'll change some byte in encrypted message and decrypt it, i will see the part of original message, that isn't suppose to be. This is source code:
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <string.h>
int do_crypt(void)
{
int outlen, inlen;
FILE *in, *out;
in = fopen("in.txt", "r");
out = fopen("out.txt", "w");
unsigned char key[32];
strcpy(key, "10000000000000000000000000000002");
unsigned char iv[8];
unsigned char inbuf[BUFSIZE], outbuf[BUFSIZE];
EVP_CIPHER_CTX ctx;
const EVP_CIPHER * cipher;
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(&ctx);
cipher = EVP_aes_256_cfb();
EVP_EncryptInit(&ctx, cipher, key, 0);
while(1) {
inlen = fread(inbuf, 1, BUFSIZE, in);
if(inlen <= 0) break;
if(!EVP_EncryptUpdate(&ctx, outbuf, &outlen, inbuf, inlen)) return 0;
fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
}
if(!EVP_EncryptFinal(&ctx, outbuf, &outlen)) return 0;
fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&ctx);
return 1;
}
int do_decrypt(char *infile)
{
int outlen, inlen;
FILE *in, *out;
in = fopen("out.txt", "r");
out = fopen("out2.txt", "w");
unsigned char key[32];
strcpy(key, "10000000000000000000000000000002");
unsigned char iv[8];
unsigned char inbuf[BUFSIZE], outbuf[BUFSIZE];
EVP_CIPHER_CTX ctx;
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(&ctx);
EVP_DecryptInit(&ctx, EVP_aes_256_cfb(), key, 0);
while(1) {
inlen = fread(inbuf, 1, BUFSIZE, in);
if(inlen <= 0) break;
if(!EVP_DecryptUpdate(&ctx, outbuf, &outlen, inbuf, inlen)) return 0;
fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
}
if(!EVP_DecryptFinal(&ctx, outbuf, &outlen)) return 0;
fwrite(outbuf, 1, outlen, out);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&ctx);
return 1;
}
main(int argc, char **argv){
if(atoi(argv[1]) == 1)
do_crypt(0);
if(atoi(argv[1]) == 2)
do_decrypt(0);
}
What could be wrong?
What's wrong is your expectation that the whole message becomes unreadable because a single byte was changed.
Which parts of the message become unreadable depends on the chosen encryption mode. You're using CFB. This means if you change a single byte in the ciphertext, the corresponding byte and the block after that get corrupted, and the cipher recovers from the error afterwards.
PCBC will corrupt all output after the error. But it still does not detect the error.
I recommend adding authentication (either a MAC, or a mode with integrated authentication such as AES-GCM).
This is exactly what is supposed to be.
Greatly oversimplifying, message is encrypted and decrypted from left to right. Until decryption routine hits changed byte, decrypted text MUST match original message. What happens after changed byte is dependent on cipher mode, but decryption of the left part of the text cannot be affected by this change.
