Very interesting. I'd assumed the IV was like a second key that had to be known by the recipient but including it in the message makes much more sense. I'll make the changes to the encrypt code to use a random IV unless overridden and get rid of the IV option on the decrypt as I will include it in the message as the first block.
Does the same approach apply to CTR encryption?
