DES decryption

843811Apr 29 2008 — edited Apr 30 2008

Hi,

If I have a file that is DES encrypted and I know the String key value e.g. "8AE.B(,5". How can I decript the file?

Thanks in advance.

PS I also need to GUNZIP this afterwards...

String x = "8AE.B(,51";			
byte[] keyBytes  = x.getBytes();
SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "DES");

Is this the correct way to use the String key??
