Hello: Iīm working on a proyect that i need to decrypt a message using openss. The message was originaly encrypted with cryptix. The keys were also generated with cryptix. Now i have successfully read a key in the cryptix format from a file.But i canīt get to decrypt well everytime. The strange thing is that sometimes the decryption works and sometimes it doesīnt. Here is something even more strange. When i encrypt a message using cryptix i get some a little bit different than when i encrypt using openssl. Looks like it is a little bit shifted. This is what i got (the entries in the buffer are separated by dots): Message for encryption (64 bytes long): 0.2.36.-96.109.-113.-126.-14.76.85.58.91.117.31.117.-89.66.-4.-40.120.-108.123.-55.-63.-42.89.-100.-62.21.-71.35.-17.31.-14.-25.25.-13.111.48.16.-42.-19.-118.52.-52.-19.-71.-119.29.-43.18.96.-104.-23.-105.-43.50.17.-99.0.49.50.51.52. Encrypted message using cryptix (64 bytes long): 9.-57.32.-63.-58.87.-65.21.-125.95.116.77.-22.21.-1.30.36.124.-40.-20.-86.107.-54.39.-66.-110.-55.-54.83.-10.120.95.-122.73.-15.54.66.41.-15.102.-104.-126.-37.4.-25.-65.-22.16.5.26.60.-93.85.73.90.97.32.19.61.-59.81.0.-110.-78. Encrypted message using openssl (64 bytes long); 48.48.48.48.58.9.-57.32.-63.-58.87.-65.21.-125.95.116.77.-22.21.-1.30.36.124.-40.-20.-86.107.-54.39.-66.-110.-55.-54.83.-10.120. 95.-122.73.-15.54.66.41.-15.102.-104.-126.-37.4.-25.-65.-22.16.5.26.60.-93.85.73.90.97.32.19.61. In both cases i use no padding. Strange huh? What are those 48.48.48..??? Help please..
