When you say "IV," what are you referring to? Definitely the original
intent of my proposal to use client_write_iv and server_write_iv is
that they would remain secret. I suspect that some analysis might be
simplified by assuming that they are publicly-known as a worst-case
scenerio, but that's different than them being "public", and we should
design things assuming that we're trying to keep them private.
