How to insert and reterive key from registry editor
<p>I am new to cryptography.. i have to develop project based on cryptography..In part of my project I have to insert a key to the registry and afterwards i have to reterive the same key for decryption.. i done until getting the path of the registry  ..</p>

<p>Here i given my code..</p>

<p>import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.StringWriter;</p>

<pre><code>public static final String readRegistry(String location, String key) {
    try {
        // Run reg query, then read output with StreamReader (internal class)
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("reg query " +
                '"' + location + "\" /v " + key);

        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(process.getInputStream());
        reader.start();
        process.waitFor();
        reader.join();
        String output = reader.getResult();

        // Output has the following format:
        // \n&lt;Version information&gt;\n\n&lt;key&gt;\t&lt;registry type&gt;\t&lt;value&gt;
        if (!output.contains("\t")) {
            return null;
        }

        // Parse out the value
        String[] parsed = output.split("\t");
        return parsed[parsed.length - 1];
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return null;
    }

}
