Can you provide/compute security bounds for truncated synthetic IV?  Some (niche) use cases require it.

Dear all, 

 

I will be actually sending an RFC draft of Deoxys in the coming weeks like I promised a few months ago (really sorry, with the COVID-19 confining with young kids at home, I couldn't advance on it). It will contain misuse resistant mode (with stronger guarantees than AES-GCM-SIV), leakage resilient mode with different levels of resilience, the possiblity to encrypt 2^124 bytes per key. We are currently analyzing the INT-RUP security of it. All this for about the same efficiency as AES-GCM-SIV.

 

Regards,

 

Thomas.

Dear CFRG,

The chairs would like to ask for opinions whether it seems reasonable to initiate an AEAD mode selection contest in CFRG, to review modern AEAD modes and recommend a mode (or several modes) for the IETF.

We’ve recently had a CAESAR contest, and, of course, its results have to be taken into account very seriously. In addition to the properties that were primarily addressed during the CAESAR contest (like protection against side-channel attacks, authenticity/limited privacy damage in case of nonce misuse or release of unverified plaintexts, robustness in such scenarios as huge amounts of data), the following properties may be especially important for the usage of AEAD mechanisms in IETF protocols:

1) Leakage resistance.
2) Incremental AEAD.
3) Commitment AEAD (we've had a discussion in the list a while ago).
4) RUP-security (it was discussed in the CAESAR contest, but the finalists may have some issues with it, as far as I understand).

5) Ability to safely encrypt a larger maximum number of bytes per key (discussed in QUIC WG)..


Does this look reasonable?
Any thoughts about the possible aims of the contest?  
Any other requirements for the mode?

Regards,

Stanislav, Alexey, Nick
