I found some (for me)
interesting information about the IV.
and
wikipedia
What I can see (AFAIK) is that the IV (initialization vector) can be embedded as plain text in the encrypted file or is supplied with the key
and is supposed to be random
.
Thoughts on that?

In any case, you need to know IV, otherwise you cannot decrypt the secret on another system, even if you know the key!
