I'm working on an AES encryptor program and have everything working great 
with stream filters performing the key file, plaintext and cipher text. 
 I've implemented several of the AES block modes but can't find a way to 
output the IV and the Ciphertext using a filesource, streamfilter and a 
filesink.

Does anyone know an easy way to generate the ciphertext file such that the 
output is the [IV][ENCRYPTED DATA]?  I'm writing separate encrypt and 
decrypt programs so the IV and the cipher text needs to saved to file and 
read from file.

Here is the existing code segment:

    // Create IV variable

    byte iv[AES::BLOCKSIZE];


           FileSource pt(plaintext_file.c_str(), true,

                              new StreamTransformationFilter(e,

                                                             new HexEncoder(

                                                                           
  new FileSink(ciphertext_file.c_str(), false /* non-binary */)

                                                                           
  ) // HexEncoder

                                                             ) // 
StreamTransformation

                              , binaryfile_bool); // FileSource

I's love to see something like this available:

           FileSource pt(*(iv + plaintext_file.c_str())*, true,

                              new StreamTransformationFilter(e,

                                                             new HexEncoder
 (

                                                                           
  new FileSink(ciphertext_file.c_str(), false /* non-binary */)

                                                                           
  ) // HexEncoder

                                                             ) // 
StreamTransformation

                              , binaryfile_bool); // FileSource

Redirectors also seem to have promise when I found a concatenate files 
example but I'd also need a way to separate out the IV in the decrypt 
program which the redirector didn't seem to have a way of doing.  I love 
the cleaness of the streamfilters but think I need to ditch them to build 
the output into a string. I'm not familiar with using non-stream filters 
and was concerned that reading large files into a string might cause an 
issue, but perhaps not.

Thanks
Jeff
