But if considered to be a function of > (key, message, IV)→ciphertext then they, too, are deterministic too. Hi Adam - thanks for the question. That's not exactly what I mean/meant. In TLS, the same message (record, etc) sent under the same key and IV/NONCE (as produced by the TLS PRF/KDF functions or produced randomly) will provide different ciphertext based on the fact that the record counter changes with each message. That counter doesn't necessarily have to be part of the authenticated data in an AEAD cipher as the nonce formation is somewhat external to processing (with the exception of the block counter). To get the equivalent behavior for AES-GCM-SIV, you need to ensure there is some sort of per-message unique mixin (unique within the association duration at least) that causes the tag to be different which causes the nonce to be different. *sigh* Let me try it another way. Take generic AES-GCM, a key and a random association nonce. We form the message nonce from the concatenation of the association nonce and a message id or counter. We form the block nonce from the concatenation of the message nonce and the block counter. We encrypt the block nonce to provide the data to be XOR'd. The message and AD that we encrypt and protect need not include the message id - as long as we can derive it or count it, we don't have to send it and it will not be included under the cryptographic calculations. This mostly doesn't matter, because if either end gets the counter wrong, the message fails to authenticate at the receiver. That's not the case for AES-GCM-SIV. If the message ID is not part of the data provided (either payload to be encrypted or associated AD) to the POLYVAL function, you will have identical tags for identical messages leading to identical ciphertext for identical plain text. It turns out that this mostly doesn't matter to TLS or IPSEC as they both MAC the message sequence number so that's going to be covered by any AEAD Associated Data integrity processing and result in a different cipher text for the same message even with AES-GCM-SIV. But I remember arguments about removing the sequence number in other protocols to save space (e.g. its running over TLS - what do we need a sequence number in the record for? ) and I worry that this nuance might be missed in future protocols that use this cipher mode.
