6.1 You want to build a hardware device to do block encryption in the cipher block chaining (CBC) mode using an algorithm stronger than DES. 3DES is a good candidate. Figure 6.10 shows two possibilities, both of which follow from the definition of CBC. Which of the two would you choose:
a. For security?
For performance?
