	Title		: SIV Authenticated Encryption using AES

   This memo describes SIV, a block cipher mode of operation.  SIV takes
   a key, a plaintext, and a vector of data which will be authenticated
   but not encrypted.  It produces a ciphertext having the same length
   as the plaintext and a synthetic initialization vector.  Depending on
   how it is used, SIV achieves either the goal of deterministic
   authenticated-encryption or the goal of nonce-based, misuse-resistant
   authenticated-encryption.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
