Demonstrates how to use the FirstChunk/LastChunk properties to encrypt a file chunk-by-chunk.

# Decrypt the encrypted output file in a single call using CBC mode:

# Assume success for the example..

# Compare the contents of the decrypted file with the original file:
bSame = facIn.FileContentsEqual(fileToEncrypt,decryptedFile)
print "bSame = " + bSame.to_s() + "\n";
