AEAD Usage Limits: interactive explorer

Explore the confidentiality, integrity and authenticated-encryption usage limits from draft-irtf-cfrg-aead-limits-13. Pick an algorithm and parameters; the limits, per-algorithm comparison and the advantage curve update live. All math is done in the log2 domain so limits like 264.5 stay exact.

Parameters

Setting
Nonce construction
Security target & usage
Upper bound on attacker success probability (CA, IA or AEA).
Largest message (plaintext + AAD), in bytes. Converted to L for bounds that depend on message length; the cited AEGIS claims do not.
Attacker's precomputation, in cipher operations.
Presets
Recommendation

Confidentiality limit: max q
n/a
protected messages
Integrity limit: max v
n/a
forgery attempts
Offline-work floor (o/2^k)
n/a
advantage regardless of usage
