Subject: PRIMATEs: recommended parameter sets From: PRIMATEs Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:27:02 +0100 To: crypto-competitions@googlegroups.com Message-ID: User-Agent: ESAT webmail service, powered by Roundcube Dear all, As requested by the CAESAR secretary, by this e-mail we clarify the ordering of PRIMATEs: 1. APE-15 2. HANUMAN-15 3. GIBBON-15 4. APE-10 5. HANUMAN-10 6. GIBBON-10 We note, though, that the different primates serve different security goals (e.g., APE is robust even when the nonce is misused, whereas HANUMAN and GIBBON require uniqueness of the nonce). In an upcoming new version of the submission document, we will elaborate further on this choice. Best regards, The PRIMATEs team.
