migrating encrypted data to Sql server from MYSQL server

Question

We have aes-256 encryption for some data in one of the tables and we are migrating this to sql server. The problem is that we cannot decrypt the data in sql server due to incompatibility. Is there any way we can encrypt data in MYSQL in a way which is compatible with sql server aswell. Any advise ?

Answer 1

if you know the secretkey then you can decrypt the data see following code for encryption and decryption of AES-256 . the code is written in JAVA check this link AES-256 Password Based Encryption/Decryption in Java
