> This is the initialization vector (IV). The developers -- of course -- failed to do this and used a constant Oh, at that point you're not even using the algorithm anymore. Why is this even possible in the library? I would've assumed that any sensible implementation would handle the initialization vector for you, and manually setting it up would require very verbose explicit configuration.
