IV Collisions

Initialization vector collisions

Weak IVs and Collisions. The initialization vector (IV) value is used to provide each packet with a unique key (IV plus pre-shared key). This unique key provides a serious obstacle to any attacker, simply because each packet must be treated as a unique target.
