Hi all,

I try to perform an XML encryption of data by a secret key. In the w3c
recommendations it is precised that the initialisation vector IV must be
transmit but does not specified where : "the IV, if any, could be specified
as being with the cipher data, as an algorithm content element, or
elsewhere"

So with XmlSec I place the IV at the beginning of the ciphered data but how
can I be sure that an other program will use it.

Symmetrically, during decryption I take the IV at the beginning of the
ciphered data. But how can I find it if the enrcypting program placed it
elsewhere.
