Choices for dealing with padding: - accept padding - use a stream cipher - use a counter cipher mode (not unlike a stream cipher) - use ciphertext stealing modes Kerberos uses CTS for AES, but it's proven to be painful. My advice: accept the padding. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
