# Encryption and Decryption with a 3DES Symmetric Key (ECB Mode) (ArkTS)


For details about the algorithm specifications, see [3DES](crypto-sym-encrypt-decrypt-spec.md#3des).


**Encryption**


1. Use [cryptoFramework.createSymKeyGenerator](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#cryptoframeworkcreatesymkeygenerator) and [SymKeyGenerator.convertKey](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#convertkey-1) to generate a 192-bit 3DES symmetric key (**SymKey**).
   
   In addition to the example in this topic, [3DES](crypto-sym-key-generation-conversion-spec.md#3des) and [Converting Binary Data into a Symmetric Key](crypto-convert-binary-data-to-sym-key.md) may help you better understand how to generate a 3DES symmetric key pair. Note that the input parameters in the reference documents may be different from those in the example below.

2. Use [cryptoFramework.createCipher](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#cryptoframeworkcreatecipher) with the string parameter **'3DES192|ECB|PKCS7'** to create a **Cipher** instance. The key type is **3DES192**, block cipher mode is **ECB**, and the padding mode is **PKCS7**.

3. Use [Cipher.init](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#init-1) to initialize the **Cipher** instance. In **Cipher.init**, set **opMode** to **CryptoMode.ENCRYPT_MODE** (encryption) and **key** to **SymKey** (the key used for encryption).
   
   When ECB mode is used, pass in **null** in **params**.

4. Use [Cipher.update](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#update-1) to pass in the data to be encrypted (plaintext).
   
   - If a small amount of data is to be encrypted, you can use **Cipher.doFinal** immediately after **Cipher.init**.
   - If a large amount of data is to be encrypted, you can call **Cipher.update** multiple times to pass in the data by segment.

5. Use [Cipher.doFinal](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#dofinal-1) to obtain the encrypted data.
   
   - If data has been passed in by **Cipher.update**, pass in **null** in the **data** parameter of **Cipher.doFinal**.
   - The output of **Cipher.doFinal** may be **null**. To avoid exceptions, always check whether the result is **null** before accessing specific data.


**Decryption**


1. Use [Cipher.init](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#init-1) to initialize the **Cipher** instance. In **Cipher.init**, set **opMode** to **CryptoMode.DECRYPT_MODE** (decryption) and **key** to **SymKey** (the key used for decryption). When ECB mode is used, pass in **null** in **params**.

2. Use [Cipher.update](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#update-1) to pass in the data to be decrypted (ciphertext).

3. Use [Cipher.doFinal](../../reference/apis-crypto-architecture-kit/js-apis-cryptoFramework.md#dofinal-1) to obtain the decrypted data.

- Example (using asynchronous APIs):

  ```ts
  import { cryptoFramework } from '@kit.CryptoArchitectureKit';
  import { buffer } from '@kit.ArkTS';

  // Encrypt the message.
  async function encryptMessagePromise(symKey: cryptoFramework.SymKey, plainText: cryptoFramework.DataBlob) {
    let cipher = cryptoFramework.createCipher('3DES192|ECB|PKCS7');
    await cipher.init(cryptoFramework.CryptoMode.ENCRYPT_MODE, symKey, null);
    let encryptData = await cipher.doFinal(plainText);
    return encryptData;
  }
  // Decrypt the message.
  async function decryptMessagePromise(symKey: cryptoFramework.SymKey, cipherText: cryptoFramework.DataBlob) {
    let decoder = cryptoFramework.createCipher('3DES192|ECB|PKCS7');
    await decoder.init(cryptoFramework.CryptoMode.DECRYPT_MODE, symKey, null);
    let decryptData = await decoder.doFinal(cipherText);
    return decryptData;
  }
  async function genSymKeyByData(symKeyData: Uint8Array) {
    let symKeyBlob: cryptoFramework.DataBlob = { data: symKeyData };
    let symGenerator = cryptoFramework.createSymKeyGenerator('3DES192');
    let symKey = await symGenerator.convertKey(symKeyBlob);
    console.info('convertKey success');
    return symKey;
  }
  async function main() {
    let keyData = new Uint8Array([238, 249, 61, 55, 128, 220, 183, 224, 139, 253, 248, 239, 239, 41, 71, 25, 235, 206, 230, 162, 249, 27, 234, 114]);
    let symKey = await genSymKeyByData(keyData);
    let message = "This is a test";
    let plainText: cryptoFramework.DataBlob = { data: new Uint8Array(buffer.from(message, 'utf-8').buffer) };
    let encryptText = await encryptMessagePromise(symKey, plainText);
    let decryptText = await decryptMessagePromise(symKey, encryptText);
    if (plainText.data.toString() === decryptText.data.toString()) {
      console.info('decrypt ok');
      console.info('decrypt plainText: ' + buffer.from(decryptText.data).toString('utf-8'));
    } else {
      console.error('decrypt failed');
    }
  }
  ```

- Example (using synchronous APIs):

  ```ts
  import { cryptoFramework } from '@kit.CryptoArchitectureKit';
  import { buffer } from '@kit.ArkTS';

  // Encrypt the message.
  function encryptMessage(symKey: cryptoFramework.SymKey, plainText: cryptoFramework.DataBlob) {
    let cipher = cryptoFramework.createCipher('3DES192|ECB|PKCS7');
    cipher.initSync(cryptoFramework.CryptoMode.ENCRYPT_MODE, symKey, null);
    let encryptData = cipher.doFinalSync(plainText);
    return encryptData;
  }
  // Decrypt the message.
  function decryptMessage(symKey: cryptoFramework.SymKey, cipherText: cryptoFramework.DataBlob) {
    let decoder = cryptoFramework.createCipher('3DES192|ECB|PKCS7');
    decoder.initSync(cryptoFramework.CryptoMode.DECRYPT_MODE, symKey, null);
    let decryptData = decoder.doFinalSync(cipherText);
    return decryptData;
  }
  function genSymKeyByData(symKeyData: Uint8Array) {
    let symKeyBlob: cryptoFramework.DataBlob = { data: symKeyData };
    let symGenerator = cryptoFramework.createSymKeyGenerator('3DES192');
    let symKey = symGenerator.convertKeySync(symKeyBlob);
    console.info('convertKeySync success');
    return symKey;
  }
  function main() {
    let keyData = new Uint8Array([238, 249, 61, 55, 128, 220, 183, 224, 139, 253, 248, 239, 239, 41, 71, 25, 235, 206, 230, 162, 249, 27, 234, 114]);
    let symKey = genSymKeyByData(keyData);
    let message = "This is a test";
    let plainText: cryptoFramework.DataBlob = { data: new Uint8Array(buffer.from(message, 'utf-8').buffer) };
    let encryptText = encryptMessage(symKey, plainText);
    let decryptText = decryptMessage(symKey, encryptText);
    if (plainText.data.toString() === decryptText.data.toString()) {
      console.info('decrypt ok');
      console.info('decrypt plainText: ' + buffer.from(decryptText.data).toString('utf-8'));
    } else {
      console.error('decrypt failed');
    }
  }
