I've just started working with the Crypto library and I've already run into a wall even though I'm following a tutorial. Basically, I'm trying to encrypt a string using AES in CBC mode. Here is the code:
from Crypto import AES import hashlib text_to_encrypt = 'This is a super secret encrypted message, yo!' key = '0123456789abcdef' mode = AES.MODE_CBC encryptor = AES.new(key, mode) ciphertext = encryptor.encrypt(text) When I run the code above, I am told that the IV must be 16 bytes long. I'm assuming that the IV (I know that means "Initialization Vector") is either the key OR something else I can set. But I don't know how or what to do. Does anyone see what is wrong with the code above and could suggest ways to make it work? I've spent the last 45 minutes googling around and nothing comes up specific to my problem.
