OCB3 is the final version of a blockcipher mode for authenticated encryption, proven to be secure up to the birthday bound assuming a secure underlying blockcipher. The scheme's software performance has been studied by comparing its speed on multiple platforms to other AE schemes, and a reflection on the history and development of the mode has been provided.
We describe OCB3, the final version of OCB, a blockcipher mode for authenticated encryption (AE). We prove the construction secure, up to the birthday bound, assuming its underlying blockcipher is secure as a strong-PRP. We study the scheme's software performance, comparing its speed, on multiple platforms, to a variety of other AE schemes. We reflect on the history and development of the mode.
