DCPCrypt to Lockbox3 migration

Question

I'm a newbie on encrypting/decrypting routines. I'm trying to use Lockbox3, which I want migrate my app to, in order to decrypt a string encrypted by using DCPCrypt. Let's say I have this function to encrypt:

function TfrmMain.Encrypt(value: string): string;
var
  CipherR : TDCP_rijndael;
  m, sm, Key, IV: string;
  Data: string;
begin
  Key := PadWithZeros(m, KeySize);
  IV := PadWithZeros(sm, BlockSize);
  Data := PadWithZeros(value, BlockSize);
  m := 'SOMEWORDSOMEWORD';
  sm := 'WORDSOMEWORDSOME';

  Key := PadWithZeros(m, KeySize);
  IV := PadWithZeros(sm, BlockSize);
  CipherR := TDCP_rijndael.Create(Self);
  if Length(m) <= 16 then
    CipherR.Init(Key[1], 128, @IV[1])
  else if Length(m) <= 24 then
    CipherR.Init(Key[1], 192, @IV[1])
  else
    CipherR.Init(Key[1], 256, @IV[1]);
  CipherR.EncryptCBC(Data[1], Data[1], Length(Data));
  CipherR.Free;
  FillChar(Key[1], Length(Key), 0);
  code := Base64EncodeStr(Data);
  Result := code;
end;

I would like now to decrypt strings encrypted this way using Lockbox3, but I should use the values used in encrypt function as m and sm and I know how I can do it - if I can. I thought to use the sm value to set Codec1.Password but this doesn't work.

Any idea? Thanks to all for any advice.

How about ...

function TfrmMain.Encrypt( const value: string): string;
var
  Codec: TCodec;
  Lib  : TCyptographicLibrary;
  Ciphertext: ansistring;
begin
Codec := TCodec.Create( nil);
Lib   := TCyptographicLibrary.Create( nil);
Codec.CryptoLibrary := Lib;
Codec.StreamCipherId := BlockCipher_ProgId;
Codec.BlockCipherId := 'native.AES-256'; // AES-256 cipher
Codec.ChainModeId := CBC_ProgId;         // CBC chaining
Codec.Password := 'WORDSOMEWORDSOME';
Codec.EncryptString( Value, Ciphertext); // Assumes UNICODE supporting compiler.
result := Ciphertext; // Implicit utf8string --> unicode string coersion here.
Codec.Burn;
Lib.Free;
Codec.Free;
end;

function TfrmMain.ShowCiphertextOfSomeWords;
begin
ShowMessage( 'base64 of ciphertext = ' + Encrypt( 'SOMEWORDSOMEWORD'))
end;
