Hello list. Sorry for what is likely a simple question but I'm running out of 
time and could use a quick hand. I have a program that encrypts data using 
AES256 CBC mode and a 256 bit (obviously) key provided directly to the 
encryption engine as-is. I need our Windows-using counterpart to encrypt a file 
in exactly the same way, with exactly the same key. OpenSSL seems to provide 
command-line access to all the parameters we need (pkcs7, CBC), I need to ask 
it to use an encryption key rather than a passphrase (which is, presumably, 
converted to a 256 bit key). I started poring over the source but I haven't yet 
found the conversion from passphrase to key. Could someone point me to the code 
snippet or simply summarize the procedure for me so I can code the same thing 
into my app? Alternatively, if there's a way to give OpenSSL a key directly, 
that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Dan______________________________________________________________________
