comment When truncating an AES MAC value by “w” , how do I justify that “w” is still negligible?
You were doing so well until the last sentence. Poly1305 and AES-GCM cannot be truncated, due to algebraic properties they have despite being information theoretically secure.

Large prime order is to ensure discrete log is sufficiently hard.

They actually do sell WORM drives which are the more practical equivalent.

comment Google is using RC4, but isn't RC4 considered unsafe?
This answer is completely and utterly wrong. At FSE '13 Bernstein presented a passive attack that requires intercepting 2^32 sessions where the same secrets are encrypted. That sounds like a lot, but if an application automatically restarts a connection it is very possible.

comment Timing attack on modular exponentiation
Of course! But there are plenty of faster constant time methods. You need to hide what you are doing.
