comment Using the output of a stream cipher, how to guarantee the integrity of 4 bytes of data?
Well, that is my premise when I asked the question.

I had realized the difficulty of finding the message boundary in case of corrupted stream, but I do terminate the communication in case of corrupted message. And since I am using a stream cipher, I can't easily recover from bytes inserted or removed from the stream.

In (message size x cipher output 2), x stands for multiplication...

No, 4 bytes is the header, that tells the size of the following byte stream. But since the MAC is in the end, I want a simpler authentication mechanism to authenticate just the size.

comment Nonce role on stream ciphers
But a key/nonce pair can generate a very long pseudorandom stream, I thought I could simply go on generating more and more bytes for the messages as long as the message sequence is not lost...
