Initialization Vector in encryption
<p>I've never done any encryption before, but I've been all over MSDN and google. I finally got something working. </p>

<p>I've seen this a ton of times:</p>

<pre><code>Dim IV() As Byte = {&amp;H12, &amp;H34, &amp;H56, &amp;H78, &amp;H90, &amp;HAB, &amp;HCD, &amp;HEF}.
</code></pre>

<p>My question is this - do the hex digits inside the array have any significance? I just find it terribly odd that these particular numbers would be used SO often otherwise.</p>
