<p>Hi,</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-koch-librepgp-02.html#section-5.16.2">https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-koch-librepgp-02.html#section-5.16.2</a>
says that "the
initialization vector per message MUST be distinct" for OCB.
Distinctness is not sufficient here, since the per-chunk nonce is
derived by XORing the IV with the chunk index. Thus, for messages
with multiple chunks, even distinct IVs may lead to repeated nonce
usage (i.e., IV_2 = IV_1 + 1). A corresponding statement in the
previous section for EAX makes the same mistake.</p>
<p>Accordingly, random IVs are required here. After this correction,
it might also be useful to include a section in the security
considerations regarding the number of repeated messages under the
same key using random IVs and the resulting nonce-collision
probabilities.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Falko<br>
