Re: Where does the IV for a MIC-CLEA

Thanks for the information.  An IV of 0 is the sensible way to do it.

I noticed that 1115A cited FIPS 113, but I don't have a copy.  I
understand the need in a complex standard to incorporate facilities by
reference (such as the specification of DES), but its nice to have
standards as self-contained as possible. I suggest that a phrase like:
"The IV value for the DES CBC computation is 0." be added to the end
of the second paragraph of section 4.1 in 1115A.
