Re: Encrypting a Message in C# with Rijndael and Decrypting it on Perl

I think you should first decode message, extract salt and iv, and after that provide them to Crypt::CBC->new. Though I'm not sure that schemes used by Crypt::CBC and C# are compatible.

That shouldn't be the problem because if you do the encrypt with the perl function it work whith the decrypt code.	[reply]

Have a look onto Crypt::CBC source, particularly onto `_generate_iv_and_cipher_from_datastream` and `_salted_key_and_iv` functions. Crypt::CBC doesn't read IV from encrypted data, it computes IV from the salt and passphrase. Note, that C# implementation may use another algorithm to compute encryption key from the salt and passphrase.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
