Hello everyone,

Today I am trying to resolve an AES incompatibility with Python.  I am 
using CFB Mode. I use the same base64 key and iv on both and I printed out 
the bytes and they are the same.

I load in the same key/iv into both of them. When I print out the bytes 
they are different.

This *encrypt_aes* is returning a string, I'm concerned maybe there is a 
string conversion when decoding UTF-8/ASCII or something like that, so I 
want to first do just raw bytes encryption, not a string ?

Question is how do I change the encrypt_aes to return a byte* rather than 
string ?


std::string encrypt_aes(std::string message, SecByteBlock key, SecByteBlock 
iv) {
try {
CFB_Mode<AES>::Encryption e;
std::string cipher;
e.SetKeyWithIV(key, key.size(), iv);
StringSource ss(message, true, new StreamTransformationFilter(e, new 
StringSink(cipher)));
return cipher;
}
catch (CryptoPP::Exception e) {
std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
return "";
}
}

    '''AES Cipher Feedback Mode of Operation.
