Thanks.

As I said then. This is one of those really cool ideas that makes perfect sense once someone actually points it out. I’ve always been bothered by the fact that an attacker may just need to decrypt a single block or check a MAC while the defender needs to decrypt the whole thing, but I never really thought about doing anything about it. So thanks again.
