<PRE>&gt;<i> &gt; Up to pycrypto 2.5, when no iv was provided to new() a string of zeroes
</I>&gt;<i> was
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; automatically used.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Depending on your application, that may or may not be a problem. It is
</I>&gt;<i> wiser
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; to always make iv explicit.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Which explains why my 'old' code failed. Thanks.
</I>&gt;<i> Needing both key and iv... It sounds like asking for two keys to unlock a
</I>&gt;<i> box?
</I>&gt;<i> Is that the idea?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
Well, an important difference is that the IV is not a secret, so it's not
really a key,
just a way to randomize the key stream.
