    Can blocks of 0x00 weaken AES CBC with IV encryption?

    I'm toying with AES encryption and am padding the beginning of my cleartext to ensure my cleartext buffer is 16 byte aligned. My question is:

    • Will my pre-cleartext padding weaken my AES encryption?

    I know older, far weaker ciphers were weakened by known inputs at the beginning or end of the cleartext, but is AES immune to this, assuming a properly random key and IV is used?
