Nov 25, 2017 at 21:18 comment added Maarten Bodewes Oh cool. Wrt to the rationale, sure it is there and it is likely as good for implementing the hash as a cipher - but there is no explicit rationale for the latter. 80 rounds is probably very secure but I wonder if you cannot get away with fewer rounds. Note that Threefish does require a lot of rounds; do not compare it directly with e.g. AES rounds.
Nov 25, 2017 at 20:02 comment added SEJPM I found the mode! McOE is nonce misuse resistant while offering very little overhead.
Nov 25, 2017 at 19:54 comment added SEJPM I actually remember having stumbled over a really nice mode for tweakable ciphers a while back, I'll see whether I can find it again. As for the round-count, I think this is covered in the design rationale part of the Skein spec?
