so I'm trying to encrypt a file thats created when the user types something and right after the encryption I want to decrypt the file. The file that the user created and the encryption file are created without an issue, but when I open the encrypted file its blank which I think is wrong since it should have some gibberish written on it.

public static void main(String args) throws IOException {



    //Gerando um arquivo que será encriptado e descriptografado.

    Scanner entrada1 = new Scanner(System.in);



    System.out.println("Digite qualquer coisa: ");

    String entrada = entrada1.nextLine();



    System.out.println("Arquivo criado.");



    FileOutputStream saida = new FileOutputStream("arquivo.txt");

    PrintStream imprimir = new PrintStream(saida);

    System.setOut(imprimir);

    System.out.println(entrada);

    saida.close();



    //Gerando as chaves publica e privada.

    try {       

    KeyPairGenerator chave = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");

    chave.initialize(1024);



    KeyPair chaves = chave.generateKeyPair();



    PrivateKey privada = chaves.getPrivate();

    PublicKey publica = chaves.getPublic();



    Base64.Encoder cripto = Base64.getEncoder();



    System.out.println("Chave privada: " + cripto.encodeToString(privada.getEncoded()));

    System.out.println("");

    System.out.println("");

Update:

RSA is not meant to encrypt large amounts of data. In this case, with
a 1024 bit RSA key and padding that defaults to PKCS#1 v1.5, he cannot
encrypt more than 117 bytes of data. – James K Polk

There are a lot of issues here.

First, you set System.out to new stream and close it. As a result you cannot see any response from your application.

Solution 1: keep default output stream and set it back

PrintStream defaultOutStream = System.out;

PrintStream imprimir = new PrintStream(saida);

System.setOut(imprimir);

System.out.println(entrada);

saida.close();

System.setOut(defaultOutStream);

Solution 2: write to file in different way, for example

try (FileOutputStream saida = new FileOutputStream("arquivo.txt");){

    saida.write(entrada.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8")));

} catch (Exception e){

    e.printStackTrace();

}

Second, you have an exception. You will see "Problema no manuseio do arquivo." in you console after fixing first issue. But it is not helpful without stack trace. You need to update your catch block to print the cause of the exception. For example:

catch(Exception e) {

    e.printStackTrace();

    System.out.println("Problema no manuseio do arquivo.");

}

After it you will find in console the name of the exception and the the number of the line where it occurs. This is a root cause of why your output file is empty.

Before reading further, try to find how to fix nullpointer and what causes it. Practice debugging! put break point on the line which causing nullpointer.

First, you are calling constructor with Cipher as null:

Criptografar(chaves, null);

Next, you are creating correct cipher, but calling process function with old one which value is still null:

static private void Criptografar(KeyPair chaves, Cipher ci){

    try {

        PublicKey publica = chaves.getPublic();

        Cipher cifra = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");

        cifra.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, publica);

        FileInputStream entrada_arq_c = new FileInputStream("arquivo.txt");

        FileOutputStream saida_arq_c = new FileOutputStream("criptografado.txt");

        processFile(ci, entrada_arq_c, saida_arq_c);

    }

    catch(Exception e){

        System.out.println("Erro ao criptografar.");

    }

}

One of the solution is to just call function with correct arguments: processFile(cifra, entrada_arq_c, saida_arq_c);

Few suggestions:

• you are not using Cipher parameter in Criptografar constructor, remove it


• print stack traces in all catch blocks
