These links refer to the 'problem' and have links to other resources -- they should provide a starting point: http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/11849/how-to-break-aes-cbc-pkcs5-when-key-and-iv-are-reused http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22931699/known-plaintext-attack-on-cipher-block-chaining http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/6212/aes-cbc-with-fixed-or-predictable-iv-what-are-the-risks Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
