Of course you can't, its just a visual aid. The point is to say that if a cipher _completely_ breaks down at (some imaginable amount of data), then its probably not behaving itself too well at (some much more…
Its also feedback that doesn't really land, since the library I'm working on that this blog post was written in the context of actually does make extensive use of AAD, namely for verifying segment headers in files which…
The library that this was written for does in fact do all of the above, and I actually did look at your library for inspiration when I was doing background research. Big fan of your blog by the way. Though given the…
In the library I wrote this post for, the encryption and mac keys are separate, with both the keys being randomly generated, and then persisted to disk encrypted with an argon2 produced key (with some tertiary…
That's a valid point on wording, that I tried to toe carefully with the "effectively an HMAC", as this post was written for a more general audience and I didn't want to go too far into the details, I wrote it to have…
Its section 2.1 of the paper: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3-specs/blob/master/blak... Though, note, blake3 still provides enhanced resistance against the attacks against blake2 even in the case where you only…
It's a bit more complicated than that. Yes, the core of blake3 is a modified blake2b with fewer rounds, and yes the person who wrote the "Too much Crypto" paper is one of the blake authors, but there are other aspects…
