Section 5.14. says:
The Modification Detection Code packet MUST be the last packet in the plaintext data that is encrypted in the Symmetrically Encrypted Integrity Protected Data packet, and MUST appear in no other place.
It should say:
The Modification Detection Code packet MUST be the last packet in the plaintext data that is encrypted in the Symmetrically Encrypted Integrity Protected Data packet, and MUST NOT appear in any other place.
Notes:
'MUST appear in no other place' postulates an existence in the nowhere.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
