Having said that, it's probably also a good idea for me to mention
that the OCB designers point out that:
```
[...]

Birthday-bound attacks (as well as good cryptographic hygine)
motivate rekeying well in advance of birthday-bound concerns. In RFC
7253 we say that a given a key should be used to encrypt at most 248
blocks (about 280 terabytes).
