Handbook Applied Cryptography gives two resources for the OFB mode
1980 FIPS 81. This doesn't give any references, unlike NIST.
1983 ANSI X3.106, unfortunately pay-walled.
The question is simple, who is the inventor of the OFB mode of operation?
Let's suppose I encrypt something with CTR mode and keep the key and IV secret.
Does keeping the IV secret together with the key increase strength of encryption?
