Problema criptazione/decriptazione password

[Cool81]

Salve,

ho la seguente classe per la gestione della criptazione e decriptazione della password

package rubrica.util;

// CIPHER / GENERATORS

public class StringEncrypter {

    Cipher ecipher;
    Cipher dcipher;

    StringEncrypter(SecretKey key, String algorithm) {
        try {
            ecipher = Cipher.getInstance(algorithm);
            dcipher = Cipher.getInstance(algorithm);
            ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
            dcipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
        } catch (NoSuchPaddingException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: NoSuchPaddingException");
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: NoSuchAlgorithmException");
        } catch (InvalidKeyException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: InvalidKeyException");
        }
    }

    public StringEncrypter(String passPhrase) {

        // 8-bytes Salt
        byte[] salt = {
            (byte)0xA9, (byte)0x9B, (byte)0xC8, (byte)0x32,
            (byte)0x56, (byte)0x34, (byte)0xE3, (byte)0x03
        };

        // Iteration count
        int iterationCount = 19;

        try {

            KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(passPhrase.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount);
            SecretKey key = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES").generateSecret(keySpec);

            ecipher = Cipher.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm());
            dcipher = Cipher.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm());

            // Prepare the parameters to the cipthers
            AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec = new PBEParameterSpec(salt, iterationCount);

            ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, paramSpec);
            dcipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, paramSpec);

        } catch (InvalidAlgorithmParameterException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: InvalidAlgorithmParameterException");
        } catch (InvalidKeySpecException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: InvalidKeySpecException");
        } catch (NoSuchPaddingException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: NoSuchPaddingException");
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: NoSuchAlgorithmException");
        } catch (InvalidKeyException e) {
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION: InvalidKeyException");
        }
    }

    public String encrypt(String str) {
        try {
            // Encode the string into bytes using utf-8
            byte[] utf8 = str.getBytes("UTF8");

            // Encrypt
            byte[] enc = ecipher.doFinal(utf8);

            // Encode bytes to base64 to get a string
            return new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(enc);

        } catch (BadPaddingException e) {
        } catch (IllegalBlockSizeException e) {
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
        return null;
    }


    public String decrypt(String str) {

        try {

            // Decode base64 to get bytes
            byte[] dec = new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(str);

            // Decrypt
            byte[] utf8 = dcipher.doFinal(dec);

            // Decode using utf-8
            return new String(utf8, "UTF8");

        } catch (BadPaddingException e) {
        } catch (IllegalBlockSizeException e) {
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
        return null;
    }
.......
}

Su questa riga

byte[] utf8 = dcipher.doFinal(dec);

mi lancia la seguente eccezione quando prova a decriptare la password, restituendomi quindi sempre null

Exception occurred in target VM: Input length must be multiple of 8 when decrypting with padded cipher

Da cosa dipende? Come posso risolvere?
