i am Getting the image from the .net web server which is in base64 encoded from.
By googling i found this source for the encryption and decryption
i tried this
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#class NSString;
#interface NSData (NSDataAdditions)
+ (NSData *) base64DataFromString:(NSString *)string;
-------------------------------------------

unsigned long ixtext, lentext;
unsigned char ch, input[4], output[3];
short i, ixinput;
Boolean flignore, flendtext = false;
const char *temporary;
NSMutableData *result;
if (!string)
return [NSData data];
ixtext = 0;
temporary = [string UTF8String];
lentext = [string length];
result = [NSMutableData dataWithCapacity: lentext];
ixinput = 0;
while (true) {
if (ixtext >= lentext)
break;
ch = temporary[ixtext++];
flignore = false;
if ((ch >= 'A') && (ch <= 'Z'))
ch = ch - 'A';
else if ((ch >= 'a') && (ch <= 'z'))
ch = ch - 'a' + 26;

#end
but it shows error by resolving errors it is not decrypted.
And i try this link
But i did n't understand through that link.
can any one pls help me.
Post some code for base64 decryption in iphone.
Thank u in advance.
You should use a Base64 teststring like VGVzdHN0cmluZw== to test this method.
Use http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp to debug your data.
Edit
You should convert your string online to TEST it in your Objective C Code! You cleary didn't pass the method a real Base64 encoded string.

I am using Triple DES Encryption using this code. I am getting errors that say
No visible #interface for 'NSData' declares the selector 'initWithBase64EncodedString:'
No visible #interface for 'NSData' declares the selector 'base64Encoding:'
I have imported "CommonCrypto/CommonCryptor.h"
There is no initWithBase64EncodedString: and base64Encoding: in the default NSData class.
If you need to add these function to NSData class then you need to extend the NSData class like:
#interface NSData (NSDataAdditions)
- (id) initWithBase64EncodedString:(NSString *)string;
- (NSString *) base64Encoding;
#end
Then you need to implement these methods.

You will get these methods implemented in the following links:
NSDataAdditions.h
NSDataAdditions.m
You need to add files to your project that add those selectors to NSData. You can find some code for that in this answer.
The methods you're trying to use are not Apple's code, but a category on NSData which you can find online. See this SO post about converting NSData to base64, there's a link to the category. As mentioned in that post, the category comes from a post on Cocoa with Love. You can find the download link on that SO post or at the bottom of the page in that Cocoa with Love post.
I am trying to implement the new VerificationController.m class that Apple released to fix the in-app purchase fraud problem.
As everything released by Apple, this is one more vague, incomplete and bad explained document with a lot of voids and unknowns that cannot be circumvented/understood by everyone.
I am trying to implement that, but at the end of the code we see these four methods:
- (NSString *)encodeBase64:(const uint8_t *)input length:(NSInteger)length
{
#warning Replace this method.
return nil;
}
- (NSString *)decodeBase64:(NSString *)input length:(NSInteger *)length
{
#warning Replace this method.
return nil;
}
#warning Implement this function.
char* base64_encode(const void* buf, size_t size)
{ return NULL; }
#warning Implement this function.
void * base64_decode(const char* s, size_t * data_len)
{ return NULL; }
You can see that Apple was lazy to implement the C functions at the end of the code. As my C/C++ abilities stink, I see I need to implement these two functions in C/C++ and that they must return char and void (???). Other people have posted routines to do that on SO, but they are either in Objective-C or not returning chars and void (??).
NOTE: this is another problem I have: how can a method return void if it is used by Apple in this form?
uint8_t *purchase_info_bytes = base64_decode([purchase_info_string cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding], &purchase_info_length);
shouldn't it be returning uint8_t?
NOTE2: another problem I have is that apple says base64_encode is required but it is not being used on the code provided by them. I think they are smoking bad stuff or my C/C++ knowledge really stink.
So, returning to my first question. Can someone post/point a method that can do the job that follows the requirements of the declared methods base64_encode and base64_decode? Please refrain from posting objective-c methods that are not compatible with these requirements imposed by Apple.
Thanks.
This solution should be pretty straight forward, which includes all the methods to populate the missing information. Tested and functional within the sandbox.

These were pieced together from examples I found in various places on the internet when I was searching for them a while ago. They, may be easier for you to implement. I just created a Base64 class and placed these methods in it.
Here are the C wrappers around Justin's answer:
char* base64_encode(const void* buf, size_t size)
{
NSData* data = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:(void*)buf length:size];
NSString* string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
return [[_Class_ encode:string] UTF8String];
}
void* base64_Decode (const char* s, size_t* data_len)
{
NSString* result = [_Class_ decode:[NSString stringWithCString:s encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
*data_len = result.length;
return [result UTF8String];
}
Where Class is the class that contains Justin's functions.
i am converting image from picker into nsdata(jpeg representation) and then converting it into nsstring using the following code
NSData *data=UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image,1.0);
NSString *imageString=[[NSString alloc]initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:imageString forKey:#"image_name"];
and at the other end where i need to display the image the uiimage is formed as follows.
NSString *imageString=[[NSString alloc] init];
imageString=[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"image_name"];
UIImage *image=[UIImage imageWithData:[imageString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
the image variable used in the top code is not nil ,but the image formed from data is getting nil...when i nslogged userdefaults some string is present for the key mentioned above .can anyone explain why is this so..what is the right way to do this
If it goes through a web server or the like, you could encapsulate it with base64 enc/decoding or some other plain encoder.
It removes "bad" char, ie that screw up the string during transformation, and change them to generic alphabetical chars and then back again.
if this is the reason to your issues, here is a short one i use (which I most probably stole and adapted, but do not remember from whom. Sorry! :-) )

File f = new File(url);
BufferedInputStream bi = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(f));
int bytes = (int) f.length();
byte[] buffer = new byte[bytes];
int readBytes = bi.read(buffer);
bi.close();
/*BASE 64 ENCODE*/
byte[] encodedString = Base64.encode(buffer);
String image = new String(encodedString, "UTF8");
NSData doesn't magically decode base64, you'll have to do that yourself. There's an example how to do this in this blog post.
I have a piece of code in vb. I need to convert array of bytes to base 64 string. Following is the vb code.
If arrLicence.Count > 0 Then
LicenceBytes = CType(Array.CreateInstance(GetType(Byte),6), Byte())
LicenceBytes(0) = Convert.ToByte(arrLicence(0).ToString(), 16)
LicenceBytes(1) = Convert.ToByte(arrLicence(1).ToString(), 16)
LicenceBytes(2) = Convert.ToByte(arrLicence(2).ToString(), 16)
LicenceBytes(3) = Convert.ToByte(arrLicence(3).ToString(), 16)
LicenceBytes(4) = Convert.ToByte(arrLicence(4).ToString(), 16)
LicenceBytes(5) = Convert.ToByte(arrLicence(5).ToString(), 16)
LicenceString = Convert.ToBase64String(LicenceBytes) '6 byteArray - passed by the user - Base64Encoded
I need its equivalent in iphone. I tried with NSData and base64 conversion but result defers.
I have used this link for conversion.
http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?BaseSixtyFour
I tried by creating individual bytes using memcpy and then creating an array but with no success.
What I have tried is as follows:
NSData *d1 =[#"64" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF16StringEncoding];
NSData *d2 = [#"37" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF16StringEncoding];
NSData *d3 = [#"81" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF16StringEncoding];
NSData *d4 = [#"d4" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF16StringEncoding];
unsigned char *buffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(8);
buffer[0] = [d1 bytes] ;
buffer[1] = [d2 bytes] ;
buffer[2] = [d3 bytes] ;
buffer[3] = [d4 bytes] ;
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:buffer length:4];
NSString *str = [self encodeBase64WithData:data];
free(buffer);
This results in IJCgkA== while code in .NET returns ZDeB1A==
Please note that the conversion is for first four bytes of arrLicence and the input is 64, 37, 81, d4
Try this one, i hope this will surely help you.
get-base64-nsstring-from-nsdata
unsigned char *buffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(8);
buffer[0] = [d1 bytes] ;
buffer[1] = [d2 bytes] ;
buffer[2] = [d3 bytes] ;
buffer[3] = [d4 bytes] ;
Not sure what you expect this to do. bytes return an array, and you are assigning the addresses of the arrays to char elements of your buffer. This buffer won't be filled with any of the data you expect, and the "data" from d2 will partially overwrite those from d1 etc.
Also, you shouldn't make much assumptions about the lengths of your byte arrays, especially not if using UTF-16.
In a word: You don't throw the data you expect at your conversion routine. Maybe check that in the debugger.
See code sample, Very self-explained ...

How do I do base64 encoding on iphone-sdk?
//strBusiCode = #"64-37-81-d4-39-6d";
NSArray *tmp_arr = [strBusiCode componentsSeparatedByString:#"-"];
NSMutableData *commandToSend= [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
unsigned char whole_byte;
char byte_chars[3] = {'\0','\0','\0'};
int i;
for (i=0; i < [tmp_arr count]; i++) {
byte_chars[0] = [[tmp_arr objectAtIndex:i] characterAtIndex:0];
byte_chars[1] = [[tmp_arr objectAtIndex:i] characterAtIndex:1];
whole_byte = strtol(byte_chars, NULL, 16);
[commandToSend appendBytes:&whole_byte length:1];
}
return commandToSend;
This commandToSend is then converted to base64 data.
If you look at the 2 last numbers you give as example, you will notice conversion match. Because the hi and low parts are the same.
Just swap the hi and low words.
You can use this base64.h and base64.m class to decode to base64 string.
