I am getting a Radix out of range exception on performing decryption

I am generating a keypair and converting one of the same into string which later is inserted into the database using the following code: KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA"); keyGen.initialize(2048); KeyPair generatedKeyPair = keyGen.genKeyPair(); PublicKey pubkey = generatedKeyPair.getPublic(); PrivateKey prvkey = generatedKeyPair.getPrivate(); System.out.println("My Public Key>>>>>>>>>>>"+pubkey); System.out.println("My Private Key>>>>>>>>>>>"+prvkey); String keyAsString = new BigInteger(prvkey.getEncoded()).toString(64);

I then retrieve the string from the database and convert it back to the original key using the following code (where rst is my ResultSet): String keyAsString = rst.getString("privateKey").toString(); byte[] bytes = new BigInteger(keyAsString, 64).toByteArray(); //byte k[] = "HignDlPs".getBytes(); PKCS8EncodedKeySpec encodedKeySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(bytes); KeyFactory rsaKeyFac = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");

PrivateKey privKey = rsaKeyFac.generatePrivate(encodedKeySpec);

On using the privKey for RSA decryption, I get the following exception java.lang.NumberFormatException: Radix out of range at java.math.BigInteger.(BigInteger.java:294) at com.util.SimpleFTPClient.downloadFile(SimpleFTPClient.java:176) at com.Action.FileDownload.processRequest(FileDownload.java:64) at com.Action.FileDownload.doGet(FileDownload.java:94)

Please guide.
