Description
Hi~
I am reading python code about Crypto.Cipher in website: https://www.pycryptodome.org/src/cipher/classic#ctr-mode
I found the new function defined to Crypto.Cipher.<algorithm>.new(key, mode, *, nonce=None, initial_value=None, counter=None)
Is the initial_value means the salt in :

Research direction
Start with lib/resty/aes.lua at line 120 and compare the option's documented behavior with PyCryptodome's CTR-mode documentation. Done means clarifying whether salt corresponds to initial_value, with the explanation recorded in the appropriate project documentation or issue response.
