ippStsOFBSizeErr

This status belongs to Intel IPP cryptography mode setup. OFB mode turns a block cipher into a keystream generator, so the feedback block size must match the mode variant accepted by the called IPP function.

Do not diagnose it as a bad key or damaged ciphertext first. Capture the exact function name, cipher algorithm, IV length, feedback size argument, and whether the API expects bytes, bits, or a fixed enumerated size.

What to check

  • Use the block and feedback sizes documented for the IPP OFB function, not a size copied from CFB or CTR code.
  • Verify that wrapper code did not convert bits to bytes twice.
  • Keep IV/key validation separate; this status is about the mode-size parameter.
