The correct answer to the following question will be "True".

Explanation:

The most common heritage authentication mode is the CBC (Common legacy encryption) mode. Implementation around an internal ECB style cipher is simple and easy to understand and marginal. An initial value (IV) must be selected at random, even for the CBC function, but this doesn't have to be hidden.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
