See bug 2405. A salt prefix is added for encryption using the key method when it should not be. The decryption does not have this problem.


One workaround is to delete the first 16 bytes after ecrypt with key.

This bug might get fixed, so you might consider doing that only if the first 8 bytes are "Salted__" or if the engine is in some range.

The key method also does not allow an IV to be specified (or at least I haven't figured out how). This does not apply in some cases and can be scripted around in some, if you know your way around block modes.
