It's an archaic premodern construction that cryptographers hate but that hasn't been demolished in a paper yet, in part because lots of people use SSH and very few people seriously use PGP. I'm confused, though: what would it have to do with you?


>...hasn't been demolished in a paper yet...

OpenPGP gets a fair amount of academic scrutiny. What is going to change that would allow someone to find a weakness in OCFB-MDC at this late date?

Also, why do you care so much that you bring it up out of nowhere in unrelated contexts?


Not really, no, it doesn't.

I don't understand your second question.
