Starting Decryption... 
Decryption completed...

Before Encryption

After Encryption

The method doFinal() should not be used in loop or repeatedly. If we have to encrypt/decrypt multiple blocks we use update() method.

 
outStream.write(cipher.update(buffer, 0, len));

After everything is done we call doFinal() method.

 
outStream.write(cipher.doFinal());

If we use doFinal repeatedly, the encryption will work without errors. But decryption will fail throwing exception - javax.crypto.BadPaddingException
