What does IV stand for?

Ensuring the integrity of sensitive data To ensure the integrity of data stored in an electronic PMS, there are a few key things to consider: a ) Passwords should be encrypted with 256bit AES encryption, and a unique Initialization Vector used for every install b ) Users should authenticate against the PMS using their Microsoft Windows domain account credentials c ) PMS must provide the option to use two-factor authentication for the user(s) who administer the system d ) Sensitive code of the PMS should be obfuscated, to prevent reverse engineering by system or web administrators e ) PMS must mitigated against system or database administrators granting themselves access to unauthorized data 4.

Hackers have found several ways to break the 40-bit WEP key with a 24-bit random number known as an initialization vector (IV) to encrypt the data.

The initialization vector is a randomly generated block used to encode block 0 and ensure its secrecy.

The VMS110 also includes VLSI Technology's digital non-deterministic randomizer (patent pending) for Initialization Vector (IV), key generation, and random number seeding.
