Yeah, much better, thanks :)

I have another question. I'm trying to encrypt a single block of data
with the following code:

gcry_cipher_open(&hd, GCRY_CIPHER_AES, GCRY_CIPHER_MODE_ECB, 0);
gcry_cipher_setkey(hd, sessionKey, 16);
gcry_cipher_encrypt(hd, cipherText, length, plainText, length);

but i can't get a correct result, if i try to print the cipherText the result is

(data BBBBBBBBBB)

but if i try with a different mode like opening the handle with

gcry_cipher_open(&hd, GCRY_CIPHER_AES, GCRY_CIPHER_MODE_CTR, 0);

and setting the initial counter it works correctly and i can decipher the text.

If I understood it correctly in ECB mode I don't need to set the IV, but even if
I try setting it the result is the same.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
