AES (aes-cbc-128, aes-cbc-192, aes-cbc-256) encryption/decryption with openssl C

Take a peek at this modified version of your code. Note the following:

1. Added hex_print (minor)
2. Added proper sizing of key buffer (medium).
3. Added proper sizing of output encryption buffer (which must be a block-size multiple, and if original source buffer is an exact block-size multiple, you still need one full block of padding (see PKCS 5 padding for more info).
4. Same IV used for both encrypt and decrypt.
5. Finally, odd as it may seem AES_cbc_encrypt() is used for both encryption and decryption (see the last parameter in the call).

// a simple hex-print routine. could be modified to print 16 bytes-per-line

    int keylength;
    printf("Give a key length [only 128 or 192 or 256!]:\n");
    scanf("%d", &keylength);

    /* generate a key with a given length */
    unsigned char aes_key[keylength/8];
    memset(aes_key, 0, keylength/8);

    RAND_bytes(iv_enc, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
    memcpy(iv_dec, iv_enc, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);

    // buffers for encryption and decryption
    const size_t encslength = ((inputslength + AES_BLOCK_SIZE) / AES_BLOCK_SIZE) * AES_BLOCK_SIZE;
    unsigned char enc_out[encslength];
    unsigned char dec_out[inputslength];
    memset(enc_out, 0, sizeof(enc_out));
    memset(dec_out, 0, sizeof(dec_out));

    // so i can do with this aes-cbc-128 aes-cbc-192 aes-cbc-256
    AES_KEY enc_key, dec_key;
    AES_set_encrypt_key(aes_key, keylength, &enc_key);
    AES_cbc_encrypt(aes_input, enc_out, inputslength, &enc_key, iv_enc, AES_ENCRYPT);

    AES_set_decrypt_key(aes_key, keylength, &dec_key);
    AES_cbc_encrypt(enc_out, dec_out, encslength, &dec_key, iv_dec, AES_DECRYPT);

    printf("original:\t");
    hex_print(aes_input, sizeof(aes_input));

    printf("encrypt:\t");
    hex_print(enc_out, sizeof(enc_out));

    printf("decrypt:\t");

128
Give an input's length:
10
original:   58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 
encrypt:    A9 66 C5 24 A4 02 AB 96 08 65 F7 22 A5 FB BE 26 
decrypt:    58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 

Second Test Output

I sincerely hope this helps.
