Hi Internals,
I just spent this entire Saturday debugging a code to discover that OpenSSL
truncates over sized keys.
Yeah, I was using a 256-bit length key with AES-128-CBC then trying to
decrypt it in another program never works.
Did some research I found that Ruby did it a few years ago

.
And in fact, its better to throw or even warn/notice about it instead of
silently allowing it, *what you think?*
Regards,
Leo
