I thought about that before, thats why I'm Base64 encoding the data first then passing it on to be encrypted so that there are not any nulls, also I am looking at the values in the debugger, breaking on each line and watching the vars I'm not calling strlen(). so any ideas? right now I'm working on breaking my Base64 data into 8 byte chunks encrypting each chunk then appending it to a result string which I then Base64 again for network transport.

Are you doing a strlen()? Again (this common mistake has come up before in this list and other lists such as GNUPG), you cannot do strlen() on ciphertext or plaintext coz they are not really text... if your ciphertext has a 0 byte in between somewhere then strlen will return you a wrong value.... Can you look at the memory contents of your ciphertext in a debugger and see if you are getting all the data.... Or I may be mistaken it could be some other thing with the .MaxRetrievable() or .Get()...
