What about "iv" and "tag"? For the other names, I'd actually prefer staying
with those that are full words rather than those that are abbreviations of
words, since they're more descriptive. But I agree that
"initialization_vector" and "authentication_tag" were overkill.

Even that's the name for the corresponding field in CMS AuthEnvelopedData and

I would be againist calling the authentication_tag mac. I don't object to
something like AuthTag. It is not necessarily a MAC in all cases so calling
it one make thing problematical - much like calling a mac a sig.
