Hi,
I'm writing a program which requires the use of encryption/decryption functions, therefore, I have been using EVP functions for initializing cipher contexts. I generated keys and initialization vectors for this purpose, but someone told me that initialization vectors aren't necessary for initializing cipher contexts; snd that it is correct to encrypt and decrypt without using initialization vectors.
My question is: is this true or must I use initialization vectors?
Thanks in advance.
