[Bcrypt-users] A single password won't decrypt

[Drew C. <dr...@se...>]

I'm experiencing some strange behavior.  Configuration: Mac 10.6.2; I've edited the makefile to compile -m32 but i'm on x86_64.

The following command:

bcrypt -rc any-file

consistently creates a .bfe file that cannot be decrypted, but only when using the specific encryption key:

Sfjhm7SgcmMSTVQWd152c87heOWEZvPL


The error message in question (during the decrypt) is:

Invalid encryption key for file: some-file


I'm using software that randomly generates and manages encryption keys with uniform length and characteristics, and we only have trouble with just the one key.  Hoping this makes sense to someone.

Thanks,

Drew
