For the last block (or after it), call EVP_DecryptFinal_ex. > I tried removing the EVP_DecryptFinal_ex from my DecryptMessage function and > just seeing if the first part would just decrypt the first 7 bytes, but it got > thrown into my catch statement. I am really confused. I'm not sure what you mean. That should have worked. (Note that zero bytes coming out *is* working. You are not guaranteed that any particular number of input bytes will produce any particular number of output bytes except that all of the input will, of course, produce all of the output. If you want a stream cipher, you know where to find them.) By the way, I strongly advise you not to use the C++ 'string' class for arbitrary chunks of bytes. It's really not suitable.
