Encrypt with AES in PHP, decrypt in Java

[Saeven]

Hi,

I'm trying the following which according to specs, should work (but doesn't). Anyone have any experience with this?

PHP<-->Java variables used:

JKEY<-->key
JIV<-->vector

PHP side

function generateJavaKey( $user, $name, $pass, $host ){
		$str = $user . '¶' . $user . '¶' . $name . '¶' . $pass . '¶' . $host;		
		return mcrypt_encrypt( MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, JKEY, $str, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, JIV );
	}

Java side:

	public String decode( String msg ){
		try{

	    Cipher 			cipher 		= Cipher.getInstance( "AES/CBC/NoPadding" );		    
	    SecretKeySpec 	skeySpec 	= new SecretKeySpec( key.getBytes(), "AES" );
	    IvParameterSpec ivSpec 		= new IvParameterSpec( vector.getBytes() );

	    cipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec, ivSpec );
	    byte[] 			original 	= cipher.doFinal( msg.getBytes() );
	    return new String( original );
	}
	catch( Exception e ){
		System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
	}

	return null;
}

Thanks as always.
