I don’t know if I’m misunderstanding something or what, but I am getting unexpected results from FAES::EncryptData. I am getting 1) The same encrypted output for any input of the same length. E.g. four and tree will result in the same encrypted output. 2) The output for each input varies for each launching of the application. E.g. the input string “tree” might output “RlsHfblIY” (shortened for readability) but then when I relaunch the application, “tree” will have a different output other than “RlsHfblIY”. Most of this is pulled from a stackoverflow page iirc.
