My understanding however is that CBC should be able to recover from
lost data (not just a few bad bytes or bits) - if the data is lost the
decryption algorithm would have no a priori knowledge and therefore be
lost and I wouldn't know where to pad it on the other end.
CBC doesn't recover from lost bits/bytes (synchronisation error). It
only recovers from corrupted bits/bytes.
