Re^2: Crypt::CBC, Blowfish and Salt problem

Ok, I added that but was told by the system that salt was incompatible with randomiv, so I removed the salt entry and get this message now:

"Ciphertext does not begin with a valid header for 'randomiv' header mode"

Here is my new code at the bottom of the subroutine:

my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new( -key   => $key,
                             -cipher => 'Blowfish',
                             -header => 'randomiv'
                           );

Any other ideas?

Huh. Maybe you've got a mix of 'salt' and 'randomiv' data? Your encrypt routine has presumably been working since the change - only decryption has been bombing. You might try wrapping the first try in an eval - if it fails, try again with the alternate option. -sam	[reply]
