PgpCore Exception regarding encrypted formate detection

[Steviestevson]

Hi!

I am currently trying to integrate your amazing work regarding the encrypt and decrypt functions into a bigger architecture. The encryption function is working like a charm but I can't seem to get to decrypt running.

When feeding the function with encrypted content in the body, the function is always throwing the following exception:

System.Private.CoreLib: Exception while executing function: PGPDecrypt. PgpCore: Failed to detect encrypted content format. (Parameter 'inputStream').

I can't seem to get it working - I did no changes to the function code itself but I can of course provide the code. I can provide some test request if needed too.

I am happy for any pointers in the right direction, since I seem to be blind.

Hi!

Is the encrypted data in ASCII format? Something like this:

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: BCPG C# v1.9.0.0

Hi, thanks for the super fast reply!

Yeah it is:

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: BCPG C# v1.9.0.0

h[...] [...]Q -----END PGP MESSAGE-----

Currently testing with the reply from the PGPEncrypt function if that is relevant.

[lfalck]

That should work! How are you sending the body? Does it work locally with e.g. Postman?

[Steviestevson]

Currently testing with Postman, I tried multiple ways of sending the body, currently my request looks like this

POST http://localhost:7071/api/PGPDecrypt: {

  "Request Headers": {
    "content-type": "application/octet-stream",
    "content-length": "841"
  },

  "Request Body": "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----\nVersion: BCPG C# v1.9.0.0\n\nh[...]\n=pt3t\n-----END PGP MESSAGE-----",

}

I redacted some of the body and some parameters. When sending the request like that, I get another exception though.

Exception while executing function: PGPDecrypt. BouncyCastle.Crypto: invalid armor.

Am I just sending the request wrongly?

[lfalck]

Sorry I don't know what is causing the error, I just tested and copy pasting the results from PGPEncrypt into a new Postman request works fine for me.

Thank you for the time and efforts. I will let you know if I find the issue.
