AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
-
I can use AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding in openbullet?
-
I'm pretty sure you can, in the AESEncrypt block, no?

OB has PKCS7 Padding
The difference between the PKCS#5 and PKCS#7 padding mechanisms is the block size; PKCS#5 padding is defined for 8-byte block sizes, PKCS#7 padding would work for any block size from 1 to 255 bytes.
So fundamentally PKCS#5 padding is a subset of PKCS#7 padding for 8 byte block sizes.
Many cryptographic libraries use an identifier indicating PKCS#5 or PKCS#7 to define the same padding mechanism. The identifier should indicate PKCS#7 if block sizes other than 8 are used within the calculationBased on this, using PKCS7 for AES Encryption can differ from the use of PKCS5 Padding, especially if the identifiers do not need sizes other than 8 Bytes.
I would really want to see PKCS5 Padding mode for AES Encryption/ Decryption added to OB2

@Fairy maybe open an issue about it when I release OB2 and I will add it thanks ^_^
-
@Fairy Since OB2 is yet to launch, would implementing PKCS5 in OB be difficult? how much would you do that for?
-
We are on a tight schedule and we don't accept new feature requests at the moment as we're only focused on bug fixing for the things that are already implemented. Maybe Fairy will make a plugin or an OB mod for it but otherwise just wait for OB2 release and then open an issue. Or ya know you can always use the shell plugin + an external python program to get it done.

@ManoPlayBRL
I was able to make it as a python script with shell plugin.
I'll definitely open an issue once OB2 is released. Thank you for the hard work @Ruri you really are awesome.

@Fairy I'll call you in private.
