Abstract
A method and system. Ciphertext is generated by applying an initialization vector and an encryption key to plaintext. The initialization vector is combined with the ciphertext to generate encrypted data, by using an embedding rule to perform the combining, wherein using the embedding rule includes generating the encrypted data by: dividing the initialization vector into a specified number of bits to obtain an ordered sequence of initialization vector fragments; dividing the ciphertext into a specified number of bits to obtain ciphertext fragments; and distributing the initialization vector fragments between the ciphertext fragments according to the order of the initialization vector fragments in the sequence.
