With regards to initialization vectors for CBC-mode block ciphers, how does one extract the vector? Is it merely the first X bytes of data after the record header, where X is the block size? If so, are those first X bytes unencrypted? I suppose they must be. Also, it's my understanding

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 nec
