  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 AuthenticatedData?

 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.
