I think you want to look at the "Filename Initialization Vector Chaining", "Per-File Initialization Vectors", and "External IV Chaining" settings. >Is this dangerous from the security point of view >to make this? Yes, if you're doing what I think you are it'll let someone conclude that any two blocks that are encrypted the same correspond to the same plaintext. Particularly if parts of files have stereotyped content (think about the headers in a mail file, for instance), this gives some information about other text that may be the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
