Gens,
I'm new to encryption and just thinking about an application using SSL to communicate and also for data (file) encryption both by OpenSSL (of course :-) I found the next paragraphs in the EVP doc (http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/EVP_EncryptInit.html#) <quote> When decrypting the final block is checked to see if it has the correct form. Although the decryption operation can produce an error if padding is enabled, it is not a strong test that the input data or key is correct. A random block has better than 1 in 256 chance of being of the correct format and problems with the input data earlier on will not produce a final decrypt error. </quote> Would you please tell me what exactly can be the problem with padding? I hope this does not mean that I cannot decrypt what I encrypt with the same parameter (padding enabled). Does this mean that padding can be tricked too easily or what?
