Send the IV with the ciphertext.

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?
