Data is being encrypted in a database. A message digest is being created for deduplication purposes. Is it ok to use the message digest that will be the key of the table that houses the encrypted data as the initialization vector? Since the data is not being transmitted, just archived and retrieved locally, is this a no-no? Since the message digest should theoretically be unique for every record, I'd expect the concern of using the same IV would not be a problem.
