Re: different instructions for use with aes256?



that code seems to work just fine, since almost all examples on the
net use either 2925 bytes from /dev/random or 2880 bytes.  however, i
guess if you really want to be picky you can up it to 5850 bytes
(double 2925), since you are technically doubling your key sizes. 
(it's a wild guess, really.)
