Changing the key derivation function to use MD5 still did not yield the same result as I got from openssl on the command line. :-(

It sounds like that would work. Or:

Static Function EncryptNoSalt ( Plain As String, Password As String ) As String
   Dim cKeyIv as Collection = EvpBytesToKey(Password)
   Return Cipher.Method.Encrypt( Plain, cKeyIv["key"], cKeyIv["iv"]).Cipher

Did I miss anything?
