mcrypt_create_iv() is used to create an IV.
mcrypt_create_iv() takes two arguments,
size determines the size of the IV,
source specifies the source of the IV.
The source can be MCRYPT_RAND (system random number generator),
MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM (read data from /dev/random) and

MCRYPT_RAND, make sure to call srand() before to initialize the
random number generator.
