    // the parity bits.

    // The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes
    // that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the

    // size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
    // a multiple of 8.

    // encryption, and the input for decryption.

    // An initialization vector is required if using CBC or CFB modes.
    // ECB mode does not use an IV.

    // Encrypt a string...
    // The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so
    // the output should be 48 bytes (a multiple of 8).
    // Because the output is a hex string, it should
    // be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
