Hi All,
Please help me to resolve the follwing the exception while Encrypt and
Decrypt the

javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Input length must be multiple
of 8 when decrypting with padded cipher

If *de*crypting fails, mentioning a wrongly-sized input, then
something went wrong with gathering the crypted data or passing
it to the decrypter.

If you read in the data from a file, perhaps some kind of
conversion was applied to it (e.g. CrLf->Lf) or some extra
encoding that was applied on the crpto-text (e.g. base64)
wasn't undone before decrypting.

An "sscce" (<http://sscce.org/>) would surely help *you* (by
allowing us to spot the error in your code). But even just
an excerpt of your code may suffice, if you happen to post
the right excerpt (the one that actually contains the bug).

I would say that the padding depends on padding not on mode.
