first I generate a private RSA keyfile with OpenSSL and then convert it into an encrypted "der" file:
$ openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform DER -in private_key.pem -out private_key.der
Next I try to decrypt this file from Java using the following code(at this stage I already read the file into the byte[] key
array using code that is at the bottom of this post):
public static byte[] decryptPrivateKey(byte[] key) throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeySpecException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException, IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException {
PBEKeySpec passKeySpec = new PBEKeySpec("p".toCharArray()); //my password
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo encryptedKey = new EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(key);
System.out.println(encryptedKey.getAlgName());
//PBEWithMD5AndDES
System.out.println("key length: " + key.length);
//key length: 677
SecretKeyFactory keyFac = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(encryptedKey.getAlgName());
SecretKey passKey = keyFac.generateSecret(passKeySpec);
// Create PBE Cipher
Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance(encryptedKey.getAlgName());
// Initialize PBE Cipher with key and parameters
pbeCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, passKey, encryptedKey.getAlgParameters());
// Decrypt the private key(throws the exception)
return pbeCipher.doFinal(key);
}
I get the following stack trace on the return statement above:
Exception in thread "main" javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Input length must be multiple of 8 when decrypting with padded cipher

The key is read from the "der" file as a byte array:
public static PrivateKey getPrivateKey() throws Exception {
byte[] key = null;
try(final InputStream resourceStream = getMyClass().getResourceAsStream("private_key.der")) { //$NON-NLS-1$\r
key = ByteStreams.toByteArray(resourceStream);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
key = decryptPrivateKey(key);
}
