Presentation

Accordion mode based on Hash-Encrypt-Hash

Description

NIST is planning a call for a tweakable variable-input-length strong pseudorandom permutation (VIL-SPRP), coined as “an Accordion mode”. In this paper, we survey tweakable VIL constructions, specially focusing on those based on the Hash-Encrypt-Hash paradigm (including HCTR and similar designs) in terms of their applicability as an Accordion mode, and discuss their efficiency and shortcomings. Furthermore, we also introduce an improved version that achieves Beyond Birthday Bound (BBB) security.
