Dear Monks,

That looks like your problem. and we can't verify the results without knowing the exact inputs to the conversion. I suspect, as others have stated, that you are taking the 8 byte password and converting to hex to get the 16 bytes that AES requires. That will definitely give you a wrong answer. The way encryption works is: change any character and you get an entirely different encrypted result.

Ask you client for the exact '-key' and '-iv' and then see if it works. If he gave you the password, then the '-key' and '-iv' values should be 'no problem'.

Regards...Ed
