I am encrypting the same plain text with AES-128-CFB but ciphertext generated by "Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation" and OpenSSL are different for the same IV, and key.
Plain Text: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
IV: 1234567887654321
Key: 1234567887654321
Cipher Text generated by Windows CNG in Hex: 279CB0C2FD67B37F33A861CDDAFBEDCEEAEFC68FD5B3478E67E4A936BA7CFE75DDBAD370A1E4D6CDC3455E2F4E188A9C
Cipher Text length generated by Windows CNG: 48 Bytes

Cipher Text length generated by Windows CNG: 43 Bytes
Windows CNG adding extra 5 bytes(2F4E188A9C) at the end, I thought it is due to padding and sent dwFlags value as 0 instead of BCRYPT_BLOCK_PADDING then BCryptEncrypt API call failing with error code 0xc0000206/STATUS_INVALID_BUFFER_SIZE.
