Thanks to a patch submitted by Raphael Sebbe, the SSCrypto symmetric
encryption and decryption output works with the openssl command line
tool. The previous versions did not supply an initialization vector,
which caused an incompatibility with the command line tool.
The bad news is that previous versions using symmetric ciphers should
be aware that this change will cause previously encrypted data to
appear corrupt when decrypted by the new version, and visa versa.
In other words, if you don't need command line compatibility with
openssl, it isn't necessary to do anything, just be aware that the
version in the repository isn't compatible.
SSCrypto is an Objective-C framework that provides a simple wrapper
around OpenSSL library functions for encryption, decryption (both
symmetric and RSA) and checksums. It also encodes and decodes base64
data and can generate both private and public RSA keys.
