It turns out what I needed was EVP_SealInit, so I don't need to
generate my own key. Thanks for the responses though.

I read somewhere that it is a good idea to
cryptographically hash your key material to
generate a key, so I wrote a function to do
that.
it's an even better idea to use well known/tested
algorithm for key generation
I haven't run across any; can you point me in
the right direction? Or do you thin

IOW I could hard-code the IV into my source code, or use one supplied by
the user at build time (a

Perhaps one way to think of the IV is that it is part of the key.
That is, the IV and key are used to encrypt, and then the (same) IV
and the (same) key can decrypt. It's just that if the IV is sent
in clear text ("included in the structure...") then it is not secret.
One popular algorithm is to u
