encryption - RSA code in matlab

Question

I want to encrypt a message such as 'HELO1234 and then decrypt to get the original one.I have written RSA code in matlab which is not working correctly.

PARAMETER CALCULATION

temp=1;
range=1:10;
k=isprime(range)
prime_mat=range(find(k))
p=randsample(prime_mat,1);
q=randsample(prime_mat,1);
if(p~=q)
n=p*q;
phi_n=(p-1)*(q-1);
u=1:phi_n -1;
end
while temp
 enckey=randsample(u,1);
  deckey=randsample(u,1);
  if(enckey~=deckey)
  if(gcd(enckey,phi_n)~=1 ...
     && gcd(deckey,phi_n)~=1 ...
   &&gcd(enckey*deckey,phi_n)~=1)
    temp=1;
 else 
 temp=0;
  end
  end
end

ENCRYPTION PROCESS

 char t= 'hello123';
      t=uint8(t);
        len=length(t)
         pow=[];
         cipher_text=[];
           for i=1:len                                   
               pow=[pow;t(i).^(enckey)];  %each element of the pt matrix(plain text) is raised    to the power of encryption key(enc_key) and stored in pow matrix(power matrix)

    cipher_text=[cipher_text;mod(pow(i),n)];% cipher text is calculate

DECRYPTION PROCESS

plain_text=[];
pow1=[];
len1=length(cipher_text);
for i=1:len
    pow1=[pow1;cipher_text(i).^(deckey)]
    plain_text=[plain_text;mod(pow1(i),n)]

uint8(plain_text);

Don't bother implementing it yourself. Writing crypto is hard and bugs have security consequences. Use a well-known library from a trusted vendor.

In Matlab, you can call down to the standard Java cryptography classes included with the JVM bundled with Matlab. The Matlab code will look something like this.

import javax.crypto.Cipher;

plaintext = 'foobar';

cipher = Cipher.getInstance('RSA');
keygen = java.security.KeyPairGenerator.getInstance('RSA');
keyPair = keygen.genKeyPair();
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keyPair.getPrivate());

plaintextUnicodeVals = uint16(plaintext);
plaintextBytes = typecast(plaintextUnicodeVals, 'int8');
ciphertext = cipher.doFinal(plaintextBytes)'  %'

% And back out
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, keyPair.getPublic());
decryptedBytes = cipher.doFinal(ciphertext);
decryptedText = char(typecast(decryptedBytes, 'uint16'))'
