Then the 8 random bytes are transmitted along with the encrypted data
(without themselves being encrypted), and passed back in as @var{ivec}
for decryption. Another possibility is to set @var{ivec} to 8 zeroes
initially, and have the first the block encrypted consist of 8 random
initially, and have the first block encrypted consist of 8 random
bytes.
Otherwise, all the parameters are similar to those for @code{ecb_crypt}.
