What Is PKCS5Padding?
This section describes what is PKCS5Padding - a schema to pad cleartext to be multiples of 8-byte blocks.
As you can see from previous tutorials, DES algorithm requires that the input data to be 8-byte blocks. If you want to encrypt a text message that is not multiples of 8-byte blocks, the text message must be padded with additional bytes to make the text message to be multiples of 8-byte blocks.
PKCS5Padding is a padding scheme described in: RSA Laboratories, "PKCS #5: Password-Based Encryption Standard," version 1.5, November 1993.
PKCS5Padding schema is actually very simple. It follows the following rules:
PKCS5Padding schema can also be explained with the diagram below, if M is the original clear text and PM is the padded clear text:
If numberOfBytes(clearText) mod 8 == 7, PM = M + 0x01 If numberOfBytes(clearText) mod 8 == 6, PM = M + 0x0202 If numberOfBytes(clearText) mod 8 == 5, PM = M + 0x030303 ... If numberOfBytes(clearText) mod 8 == 0, PM = M + 0x0808080808080808
