Thank You Richard
What I was thinking was to append the length at the start to the plain text and then send it for encryption and while after decryption read the length and only send that much data.

You have to encode the length into the data you encrypt, and after
decryption, you have to use that encoded length to determine the length of
the decrypted plain text.
It might be easier for you to use the EVP API. It will add som padding
which also contains length information, so you will get decryped plain text
with the length you expect.
Cheers,
Richard
