+&gt;&nbsp;Up&nbsp;to&nbsp;pycrypto&nbsp;2.5,&nbsp;when&nbsp;no&nbsp;iv&nbsp;was&nbsp;provided&nbsp;to&nbsp;new()&nbsp;a&nbsp;string&nbsp;of&nbsp;zeroes&nbsp;was&lt;br&gt;<br>
+&gt;&nbsp;automatically&nbsp;used.&lt;br&gt;<br>
+&gt;&nbsp;Depending&nbsp;on&nbsp;your&nbsp;application,&nbsp;that&nbsp;may&nbsp;or&nbsp;may&nbsp;not&nbsp;be&nbsp;a&nbsp;problem.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is&nbsp;wiser&lt;br&gt;<br>
+&gt;&nbsp;to&nbsp;always&nbsp;make&nbsp;iv&nbsp;explicit.&lt;br&gt;<br>

+Is&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;idea?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well,&nbsp;an&nbsp;important&nbsp;difference&nbsp;is&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;IV&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;a&nbsp;secret,&nbsp;so&nbsp;it&#39;s&nbsp;not&nbsp;really&nbsp;a&nbsp;key,&lt;br&gt;just&nbsp;a&nbsp;way&nbsp;to&nbsp;randomize&nbsp;the&nbsp;key&nbsp;stream.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br>
