Before · SP 800-57 Part 1 Rev. 4
Initialization vectors (IVs) are used by symmetric-key algorithms in several modes of operation for encryption and decryption, for authentication, or both. The criteria for the generation and use of IVs are provided in the [SP800-38] series of publications; IVs shall be protected as specified in Section 6 . When distributed, IVs may be distributed in the same manner as their associated keys, or may be distributed with the information that uses the IVs as part of the cryptographic mechanism.
