The draft on OCB with general block size needs more usage guidance, as I discussed with Ted and you when the drafts were first discussed last year (please see https://cfrg.irtf.narkive.com/QRDFp12y/rfcs-for-wider-block-rc6-and-ocb#post5). It is really important that an RFC provide strong guidance to users, as their target audience is implementers and users that might not understand the security ramifications. I am not opposed to publishing this draft, but I see it as a critical next step to fully document the interest that you mention, either in draft-krovetz-ocb-wideblock or in a document that can be referenced by that one, along with usage guidance on when it is a good idea to do AEAD with a wide block cipher or a small block cipher. The general block size draft would be more appealing if it could be tied to a w != 128 cipher that has withstood significant significant cryptanalysis. For smaller block sizes, this could be one of the modern 64-bit ciphers like PRESENT, SIMON, or SPECK, though I don’t think we should be promoting the use of 64-bit modes of operation for general-purpose use. For implementation environments where a 64-bit cipher fits better than AES, it would be really attractive to use an AEAD mode that is secure beyond the birthday bound, as a way to compensate for the significant security degradation due to short blocks. It would be great if we could leverage whatever interest there is in small block ciphers into some momentum towards higher-security modes of operation. It looks like the drafts haven’t been updated since they were first posted, though Ted expressed a willingness to update them.
