AES encryption of files (and strings) in java with randomization of IV (initialization vector)

http://siberean.livejournal.com/14788.html

Java encryption-decryption examples, I've seen so far in Internet, are having IV been hard coded, i.e. not changed every time. However randomization of the initialization vector (IV) is a must for AES and for strong security (WEP was compromised because of hardcoding of IV). Notice that IV is not a "salt", and is not a secret, but like a cryptographic nonce - must be randomized each time.
In simple example below - IV is attached in the beginning of the stream.

        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        encrypt(bis, bos, password);

            e.printStackTrace();
        }

}

Usage:

$ javac Encryption.java

Pass any existing file, you want to encrypt through command line argument (test.sh in the following example):

$ java Encryption test.sh
Success. Find encrypted and decripted files in current directory

Encrypted file (test.enc):

$ cat test.sh.enc
&X▒b▒▒▒▒_▒▒$Z▒▒f▒XboM▒  ▒_f§R▒s▒♣▒▒K▒M;▒▒▒▒'L▒ZS◄;▒▒i

zC;*

Let's check the decrypted file (test.dec):

$ cat test.sh.dec
#!/bin/sh

i=0
depth=6

nodes_number=$(echo "2^$depth" | bc)

#echo "total nodes: $nodes_number"

while [ $i -lt $nodes_number ] ;do

        number=$(echo "obase=2;$i" | bc)
        printf "%0${depth}o\n" 0$number
        i=`expr $i + 1`
done

The file is readable.
