NiFi Legacy

The first 8 or 16 bytes of the input are the salt. The salt length is determined based on the selected algorithm's cipher block length. If the cipher block size cannot be determined (such as with a stream cipher like RC4), the default value of 8 bytes is used. On decryption, the salt is read in and combined with the password to derive the encryption key and IV.
