Your assumption is correct, Michael. - Here's some more information on
the subject that might help explain the use of a salt in this specific
context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_vector
As coincidence would have it, this week's programming newsletter also
includes an article covering this topic, together with more code
examples:
http://systeminetwork.com/article/apis-example-cryptographic-key-managem
ent-encrypting-and-decrypting-data-using-key-hierarchy
The article doesn't appear to be on-line yet, but it should be soon. A
(free) associate membership to the System iNetwork is required to access
the article.
Best regards,
Carsten

Good refs Buck...thanks.
How would this be implemented in the cryptographic APIs? Would this be
used for the Initialization Vector?
