Java library which enables encryption in java apps with minimum effort.

There is a newer version: 1.9.4

package org.jasypt.salt;

/**
 * 
 * SNoOp implementation of {@link IVGenerator}, when you don't want to use an IV
 * for encryption.  This is useful if you need to decrypt an old password that was 
 * encrypted in an older version ofJasypt before there were IV's in JDK8.
 * 
 * 
 * This class is thread-safe.

 * @since 1.9.3
