+// FIX EXPLANATION: This fix uses PBKDF2 with a random salt for key derivation, ensuring strong, unpredictable keys even from weak passwords. It uses AES in CBC mode with a random IV, which is prepended to the ciphertext for decryption. This prevents ECB mode weaknesses and ensures semantic security. The salt and IV are stored with the ciphertext, and all cryptographic parameters are securely generated. This approach follows industry best practices for file encryption.
