Following up on the DIACs workshop, a new competition for Authenticated
Encryption algorithms.

There are some nice benefits to this competition: it is inclusive (of both
new algorithm designs and new mode designs) and it focuses attention on
the important real-world issue of AE.   I am hoping to see developments
that both perform well and improve robustness (e.g. against misuse).

I also hope to see a healthy discussion about requirements; people with
use cases should provide them as input.
