I like the suggestion, but I’m probably missing something pretty basic about it.

2^24.5 full-size records is 2^24.5 records of 2^14 bytes each, or (since an AES block is 16 bytes or 2^4 bytes) 2^24.5 records of 2^10 blocks.

Why is that 2^48 input blocks rather than 2^34.5 input blocks?

Thanks

Yoav
