When using LiveCode to encrypt and no IV, if you run into a python user who is unsure what to use, it's just null

iv = blksz * b'\0'

To handle padding when decrypting, let them know that something like this should work:

unpad_algo = lambda s: s[:-ord(s[len(s) - 1:])]

Just to put some notes in a searchable forum, I wanted to post some info on why AES-XXX-GCM does not seem to work with LiveCode. What I am seeing is that the encrypted bytes are the same as the plaintext bytes (plus a salted key). I am using CBC mode with HMACs for my work, but thought this post mig...

Thanks for the response, Stam. Sure, this is all working for me, but my goal here is to explore a little farther than the docs and to also help enable users of LiveCode to have a place to look for thing like interop questions. For instance, using the LiveCode simple encryption example above (with pa...

Sadly, crypto is one of the most often misrepresented topics on the internet, so google isn't always your friend. Hopefully we can avoid the typical camp replies of "it's dangerous! don't do...

This is probably a stupid question, but does anyone know the proper method for changing the port assignment for tsnet smtp? Typically port 25 isn't used by hosting providers any longer--587 or 465, etc.
