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

Try calling cipher-encrypt, which is a lower-level interface, instead
of the encrypt routine. The last part of Section 8.2 of the crypto
document is an example. Here is the example modified with padding
turned off. Note that in this case the message must a multiple of the
block size (96 in the case of aes:128), since there is no padding.

#lang racket

(require (planet vyzo/crypto) (planet vyzo/crypto/util))

(define (my-encrypt key iv)
  (lambda (ptext)
    (let ((octx (cipher-encrypt cipher:aes-128 key iv
                                #:padding #f)))
      (bytes-append (cipher-update! octx ptext)
                    (cipher-final! octx)))))

(define (my-decrypt key iv)
  (lambda (ctext)
    (let ((ictx (cipher-decrypt cipher:aes-128 key iv
                                #:padding #f)))
      (bytes-append (cipher-update! ictx ctext)
                    (cipher-final! ictx)))))

(define msg #"There is a cat in the box.There is a cat in the
box.There is a cat in the box.There is a cat in ")

(define-values (key iv) (generate-key cipher:aes-128))

((my-decrypt key iv) ((my-encrypt key iv) msg))

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.
