AES Encryption for Ruby 1.9
require 'openssl'

# Decrypts a block of data (encrypted_data) given an encryption key
# and an initialization vector (iv). Keys, iv's, and the data
# returned are all binary strings. Cipher_type should be
# "AES-256-CBC", "AES-256-ECB", or any of the cipher types
# supported by OpenSSL. Pass nil for the iv if the encryption type
# doesn't use iv's (like ECB).
