i could be missing something, but this seems to defeat the purpose of
using this encryption module. ideally as long as I know the key, i
should be able to decrypt . if i need to know the IV as well, that
greatly increases the complexity of what I am trying to do. i have
encrypted files on servers everywhere. it would be very difficult to
manage attaching the IV with each one of them, no?

The encrypted file has to have some kind of file format. Include the
IV as part of the file format.
