Hi,
when decrypting using pipelines I would normally do something like:

StringSource ss(cipher_hex, true, new HexDecoder(new 
StreamTransformationFilter(dec, new StringSink(recover))));

Now i ran into a problem using the Panama Stream Cipher:

    AutoSeededRandomPool prng;
    std::string plain("High-school students – who have been protesting 
against changes to colleges and the university system – also seized on the 
mood of protest and stepped up their blockades.");
    std::string cipher_hex, recover1, recover2, cipher_bin;

    SecByteBlock key(32), iv(32);
    prng.GenerateBlock(key, key.size());
    prng.GenerateBlock(iv, iv.size());

    PanamaCipher<LittleEndian>::Encryption enc;
    enc.SetKeyWithIV(key, key.size(), iv, iv.size());
    PanamaCipher<LittleEndian>::Decryption dec;
    dec.SetKeyWithIV(key, key.size(), iv, iv.size());

    StringSource (plain, true, new StreamTransformationFilter(enc, new 
HexEncoder(new StringSink(cipher_hex))));

    // works fine, recover1 = plain
    StringSource (cipher_hex, true, new HexDecoder(new StringSink(cipher_bin
)));
    StringSource (cipher_bin, true, new StreamTransformationFilter(dec, new 
StringSink(recover1)));

    dec.Resynchronize(iv, iv.size());

    // does not work, recover2 = "High-school students – who have been 
protesting against changes –Ö)‘à« ç›áS` ¥¨~]Šm Q­ÿö:Û (...) "
    StringSource (cipher_hex, true, new HexDecoder(new 
StreamTransformationFilter(dec, new StringSink(recover2))));

Is this expected behaviour? Is it not possible to use a Decoder inside the 
decryption pipeline of a stream cipher?
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to clear this up for me!
