[racket] Another PLaneTs crypto lib usage question?...

Thanks for the response, but I'm not sure if that answers my question... I now understand that #:padding depicts an optional named parameter, but

(define dummy (encrypt cipher:aes-128 devicekey nonce #"1234567887654321" #:padding #f))

is not accepted by Racket, so how would I do it?

Thanks!

  I have forked the crypto package to perform these actions for my own code and to fix some other problems with post 1.0.0 versions of OpenSSL. I submitted a bug report that at least removes the errors when we go to later OpenSSL versions, but haven't seen any response. I don't have the throughput to take over maintenance of the package, but would be happy to give my forked version over to anyone who does.
  Do we have a process for taking over orphaned projects like this? Or does anyone know the original developers?

    Hi there,

    I'm working with the crypto lib from PLaneT. It actually works well, so far, thanks for the wrappers (it's a Scheme interface to OpenSSL).

    My question is, how do I turn off padding, i.e. what do I have to pass (and where) as an additional parameter to e.g.

    (define dummy (encrypt cipher:aes-128 devicekey nonce #"1234567887654321"))

    to turn off padding (which would be the equivalent to calling EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding())? I see that there is a wrapper for that function in the lib, but I guess I don't yet understand enough about syntaxes and wrappers to figure out how 

    (define (cipher-encrypt type key iv #:padding (pad? #t))
     ..
    ) 

    translates to a function call to encrypt where the pad parameter can be passed a value.

    Thanks!!
