Hello,

About six months ago I put together an Internet-Draft that specified how to use the authenticated-encryption algorithm OCB and a block cipher without 128-bit blocks. This was in response to a few researchers and developers who had expressed interest in such a thing. As an exemplar I wrote RC6 (and RC5) code and an Internet-Draft for block lengths other than originally intended.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-krovetz-ocb-wideblock/
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-krovetz-rc6-rc5-vectors/

My question for CFRG is whether I should pursue these RFCs through the Independent submission channel, or whether there is interest within CFRG to review and/or sponsor the drafts.

Thank you,
Ted Krovetz
