Misuse-Resistant Variants of the OMD Authenticated Encryption Mode

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár, Reza Reyhanitabar

We present two variants of OMD which are robust against nonce misuse. Security of OMD---a CAESAR candidate---relies on the assumption that implementations always ensure correct use of nonce (a.k.a. message number); namely that, the nonce never gets repeate ...
