The workshop may also consider other existing modes or their generalizations, or other modes that are proposed in comments and papers. It will be helpful to receive analysis and proposals for variations of counter mode, arising from alternative methods for prescribing the generation of counters. All suggestions received will be publicly available at the modes home page. In order to encourage a common framework for comparison, a workshop approach to evaluate and analysis is available on the modes home page. Test vectors will also be useful, to provide analyzers of the modes a means to check the validity of their implementations.
Fuller descriptions are available at the modes web site.
Submissions for discussion at the workshop should be made early enough to provide time to prepare the meeting agenda. Papers proposing new modes of operation are requested as soon as possible, to provide time for the analysis of the new proposals.
