My point was that regardless of whether it's the 128- or 256-bit option the _authentication key_ used is only 128-bits; and, when using the 256-bit option the "record encryption key" can only take on 2^128 values. So, if the effective authentication and encryption keys being used in the cipher mode are always 128-bits then the 256-bit option does not provide any more security than the 128-bit option. And if that's the case then there is no reason to have AEAD_AES_256_GCM_SIV. Right? regards, Dan. > -- > Tony Arcieri >
