Hi, I've just tried to write a simple example using PyCrypto's AES (CBC mode)
#!/usr/bin/python from Crypto.Cipher import AES PWD='abcdefghijklmnop' Initial16bytes='0123456789ABCDEF' crypt = AES.new(PWD, AES.MODE_CBC,Initial16bytes) # crypt = AES.new(PWD, AES.MODE_ECB) txt = 'ea523a664dabaa4476d31226a1e3bab0' c = crypt.encrypt(txt) txt_plain=crypt.decrypt(c) print txt_plain Unfortunately, txt_plain differs from txt - why? (Using MODE_ECB does work however) What am I missing?
