Re: IVs, summary of discussion



The IP pseudo hdr is unique and was always a bad idea.

Perhaps I'm not considering the right set of numbers, but it seems
that the 8 byte savings in transmission cost is swamped by the cost of
security algorithms.

I'm not arguing that privacy and authentication cannot be orthogonal, but
I am saying that one cannot guarantee that they are without considering
the entire protocol, including key management.
