For consistency with OMG decryption and general bindkey AES CTR matching. > In Counter (CTR) mode, the nonce (or IV) is combined with a counter that increments with each block of ciphertext being decrypted. The length of the nonce is typically 8 to 16 bytes, depending on the implementation, and pycryptodome allows for nonces of various lengths. > 8-byte IV: Some libraries will accept an 8-byte IV (used as the nonce), then increment the counter automatically. This might work if the library’s implementation is flexible, but this is not universal behaviour. Some libraries will throw an error or expect you to provide a full 16-byte IV.
