C Code Generate 256 Bit Encryption Key

I want to generate AES encryption key to be sent to the the other party in order to communicate securely. In the beginning the two nodes will create a shared session key by using Deffie-Helman protocol, then one of them will genreate AES key and send it to the other node through the. Jun 17, 2013  Encrypt, decrypt and generate a key in C# using AES256. OpenSSL is well known for its ability to generate certificates but it can also be used to generate random data. Base64 Generates 32 random bytes (256bits) in a base64 encoded output.

Feels a bit like PHP code. PHP extends the key with zero valued bytes up to 128 bit (then 192 bit or 256 bit depending on the size). It uses the same idea for padding. Both are of course completely idiotic when it comes to cryptographic standards, but there it is. Oh, and many PHP sites use Rijndael with a block size of 256 bit instead of AES too.

hi fairly new to the cryptography...
when im implementing the above code im getting a error while decrypting..
'Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.'

please suggest a resolution
thanks and regards

How-to save -safely- the private key ? Windows registry ? in disk ?

I use ASP.NET applications.
