encrypt/decrypt between javascript and postgresql.

I'm trying to encrypt/decrypt between javascript and postgresql.

I'm using this: https://gist.github.com/vlucas/2bd40f62d20c1d49237a109d491974eb algorithm to encrypt my text, and then in PostgreSQL I use PGCRYPTO.decrypt_iv to decrypt the text.

I pass in 'ThisISMySign' to the Encrypt function.

Encrypted string returned from above: "fc9a03cbc8a57d4061570575f197c29c:a319a4bf354516f392ba96a895478af6"

I have to remove the colon to get something out...and so this:

select decrypt_iv(decode('fc9a03cbc8a57d4061570575f197c29ca319a4bf354516f392ba96a895478af6','hex')::bytea, 'sKCx49VgtHZ59bJOTLcU0Gr06ogUnDJi'::bytea, 'null'::bytea, 'aes-cbc/pad:pkcs');

Gives me this: 6 á¶ðÒÿÆÛÏBSïÅThisISMySign

"ThisISMySign" was the original string. So I'm getting the right result in half of the decrypted string.

The paremeter after the key, 3rd parameter, it can be any string. That just changes the first part of the output, the garbage part.

In decrypt_iv I tried using the encryption algorithm name in the javascript used to encrypt, but that gets me nowhere.

I cannot see what i'm missing here.

Thanks
