XOR operation on bytes

[divyanshu023]

I want to do a XOR operation on bytes.

I am using two bytes variable whose size is 16 bytes each

e.g byte[] buf = new byte[16]
byte[] buf1 = new byte[16]

can i do a XOR operation on the two byte variables

a statement like buf = buf ^ buf1 gives me an error.do i need to do XOR opearation on individual bytes??

Yes, each byte.

for( int i = 0; i < buf.length; i++ )
   buf[i] = (byte)(buf[i] ^ buf1[i]);
