1.  Introduction

   The concept of Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD)
   [RFC5116] couples confidentiality and integrity in a single
   operation, avoiding the risks of the previously common practice of
   using ad hoc constructions of block-cipher and hash primitives.  The
   most popular AEAD, AES-GCM [GCM], is seeing widespread use due to its
   attractive performance.

   However, some AEADs (including AES-GCM) suffer catastrophic failures
   of confidentiality and/or integrity when two distinct messages are
   encrypted with the same key and nonce.  While the requirements for
   AEADs specify that the pair of (key, nonce) shall only ever be used
   once, and thus prohibit this, this is a worry in practice.

   Nonce misuse-resistant AEADs do not suffer from this problem.  For
   this class of AEADs, encrypting two messages with the same nonce only
   discloses whether the messages were equal or not.  This is the
   minimum amount of information that a deterministic algorithm can leak
   in this situation.

   This memo specifies two nonce misuse-resistant AEADs:
   AEAD_AES_128_GCM_SIV and AEAD_AES_256_GCM_SIV.  These AEADs are
   designed to be able to take advantage of existing hardware support

Gueron, et al.                Informational                     [Page 2]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   for AES-GCM and can decrypt within 5% of the speed of AES-GCM (for
   multikilobyte messages).  Encryption is, perforce, slower than
   AES-GCM, because two passes are required in order to achieve that
   nonce misuse-resistance property.  However, measurements suggest that
   it can still run at two-thirds of the speed of AES-GCM.

   We suggest that these AEADs be considered in any situation where
   nonce uniqueness cannot be guaranteed.  This includes situations
   where there is no stateful counter or where such state cannot be
   guaranteed, as when multiple encryptors use the same key.  As
   discussed in Section 9, it is RECOMMENDED to use this scheme with
   randomly chosen nonces.

   This document represents the consensus of the Crypto Forum Research
   Group (CFRG).

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  POLYVAL

   The GCM-SIV construction is similar to GCM: the block cipher is used
   in counter mode to encrypt the plaintext, and a polynomial
   authenticator is used to provide integrity.  The authenticator in
   GCM-SIV is called POLYVAL.

   POLYVAL, like GHASH (the authenticator in AES-GCM; see [GCM],
   Section 6.4), operates in a binary field of size 2^128.  The field is
   defined by the irreducible polynomial x^128 + x^127 + x^126 + x^121 +
   1.  The sum of any two elements in the field is the result of XORing
   them.  The product of any two elements is calculated using standard
   (binary) polynomial multiplication followed by reduction modulo the
   irreducible polynomial.

   We define another binary operation on elements of the field:
   dot(a, b), where dot(a, b) = a * b * x^-128.  The value of the field
   element x^-128 is equal to x^127 + x^124 + x^121 + x^114 + 1.  The
   result of this multiplication, dot(a, b), is another field element.

Gueron, et al.                Informational                     [Page 3]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   Polynomials in this field are converted to and from 128-bit strings
   by taking the least significant bit of the first byte to be the
   coefficient of x^0, the most significant bit of the first byte to be
   the coefficient of x^7, and so on, until the most significant bit of
   the last byte is the coefficient of x^127.

   POLYVAL takes a field element, H, and a series of field elements
   X_1, ..., X_s.  Its result is S_s, where S is defined by the
   iteration S_0 = 0; S_j = dot(S_{j-1} + X_j, H), for j = 1..s.

   We note that POLYVAL(H, X_1, X_2, ...) is equal to
   ByteReverse(GHASH(ByteReverse(H) * x, ByteReverse(X_1),
   ByteReverse(X_2), ...)), where ByteReverse is a function that
   reverses the order of 16 bytes.  See Appendix A for a more detailed
   explanation.

4.  Encryption

   AES-GCM-SIV encryption takes a 16- or 32-byte key-generating key, a
   96-bit nonce, and plaintext and additional data byte strings of
   variable length.  It outputs an authenticated ciphertext that will be
   16 bytes longer than the plaintext.  Both encryption and decryption
   are only defined on inputs that are a whole number of bytes.

   If the key-generating key is 16 bytes long, then AES-128 is used
   throughout.  Otherwise, AES-256 is used throughout.

   The first step of encryption is to generate per-nonce, message-
   authentication and message-encryption keys.  The message-
   authentication key is 128 bit, and the message-encryption key is
   either 128 (for AES-128) or 256 bit (for AES-256).

   These keys are generated by encrypting a series of plaintext blocks
   that contain a 32-bit, little-endian counter followed by the nonce,
   and then discarding the second half of the resulting ciphertext.  In
   the AES-128 case, 128 + 128 = 256 bits of key material need to be
   generated, and, since encrypting each block yields 64 bits after
   discarding half, four blocks need to be encrypted.  The counter
   values for these blocks are 0, 1, 2, and 3.  For AES-256, six blocks
   are needed in total, with counter values 0 through 5 (inclusive).

Gueron, et al.                Informational                     [Page 4]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   In pseudocode form, where "++" indicates concatenation and "x[:8]"
   indicates taking only the first eight bytes from x:

   func derive_keys(key_generating_key, nonce) {
     message_authentication_key =
         AES(key = key_generating_key,
             block = little_endian_uint32(0) ++ nonce)[:8] ++
         AES(key = key_generating_key,
             block = little_endian_uint32(1) ++ nonce)[:8]
     message_encryption_key =
         AES(key = key_generating_key,
             block = little_endian_uint32(2) ++ nonce)[:8] ++
         AES(key = key_generating_key,
             block = little_endian_uint32(3) ++ nonce)[:8]

     if bytelen(key_generating_key) == 32 {
       message_encryption_key ++=
           AES(key = key_generating_key,
               block = little_endian_uint32(4) ++ nonce)[:8] ++
           AES(key = key_generating_key,
               block = little_endian_uint32(5) ++ nonce)[:8]
     }

     return message_authentication_key, message_encryption_key
   }

   Define the "length block" as a 16-byte value that is the
   concatenation of the 64-bit, little-endian encodings of
   bytelen(additional_data) * 8 and bytelen(plaintext) * 8.  Pad the
   plaintext and additional data with zeros until they are each a
   multiple of 16 bytes, the AES block size.  Then X_1, X_2, ... (the
   series of field elements that are inputs to POLYVAL) are the
   concatenation of the padded additional data, the padded plaintext,
   and the length block.

   Calculate S_s = POLYVAL(message-authentication-key, X_1, X_2, ...).
   XOR the first twelve bytes of S_s with the nonce and clear the most
   significant bit of the last byte.  Encrypt the result with AES using
   the message-encryption key to produce the tag.

   (It's worth highlighting a contrast with AES-GCM here: AES-GCM
   authenticates the encoded additional data and ciphertext, while
   AES-GCM-SIV authenticates the encoded additional data and plaintext.)

   The encrypted plaintext is produced by using AES, with the message-
   encryption key, in counter mode (see [SP800-38A], Section 6.5) on the
   unpadded plaintext.  The initial counter block is the tag with the
   most significant bit of the last byte set to one.  The counter

Gueron, et al.                Informational                     [Page 5]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   advances by incrementing the first 32 bits interpreted as an
   unsigned, little-endian integer, wrapping at 2^32.  The result of the
   encryption is the encrypted plaintext (truncated to the length of the
   plaintext), followed by the tag.

   In pseudocode form, the encryption process can be expressed as:

   func right_pad_to_multiple_of_16_bytes(input) {
     while (bytelen(input) % 16 != 0) {
       input = input ++ "\x00"
     }
     return input
   }

   func AES_CTR(key, initial_counter_block, in) {
     block = initial_counter_block

     output = ""
     while bytelen(in) > 0 {
       keystream_block = AES(key = key, block = block)
       block[0:4] = little_endian_uint32(
           read_little_endian_uint32(block[0:4]) + 1)

       todo = min(bytelen(in), bytelen(keystream_block)
       for j = 0; j < todo; j++ {
         output = output ++ (keystream_block[j] ^ in[j])
       }

       in = in[todo:]
     }

     return output
   }

   func encrypt(key_generating_key,
                nonce,
                plaintext,
                additional_data) {
     if bytelen(plaintext) > 2^36 {
       fail()
     }
     if bytelen(additional_data) > 2^36 {
       fail()
     }

     message_encryption_key, message_authentication_key =
         derive_keys(key_generating_key, nonce)

     length_block =
         little_endian_uint64(bytelen(additional_data) * 8) ++
         little_endian_uint64(bytelen(plaintext) * 8)
     padded_plaintext = right_pad_to_multiple_of_16_bytes(plaintext)
     padded_ad = right_pad_to_multiple_of_16_bytes(additional_data)
     S_s = POLYVAL(key = message_authentication_key,
                   input = padded_ad ++ padded_plaintext ++
                           length_block)
     for i = 0; i < 12; i++ {
       S_s[i] ^= nonce[i]
     }
     S_s[15] &= 0x7f
     tag = AES(key = message_encryption_key, block = S_s)

     counter_block = tag
     counter_block[15] |= 0x80
     return AES_CTR(key = message_encryption_key,
                    initial_counter_block = counter_block,
                    in = plaintext) ++
            tag
   }

5.  Decryption

   Decryption takes a 16- or 32-byte key-generating key, a 96-bit nonce,
   and ciphertext and additional data byte strings of variable length.
   It either fails or outputs a plaintext that is 16 bytes shorter than
   the ciphertext.

   To decrypt an AES-GCM-SIV ciphertext, first derive the message-
   encryption and message-authentication keys in the same manner as when
   encrypting.

   If the ciphertext is less than 16 bytes or more than 2^36 + 16 bytes,
   then fail.  Otherwise, split the input into the encrypted plaintext
   and a 16-byte tag.  Decrypt the encrypted plaintext with the message-
   encryption key in counter mode, where the initial counter block is
   the tag with the most significant bit of the last byte set to one.
   Advance the counter for each block in the same way as when
   encrypting.  At this point, the plaintext is unauthenticated and MUST
   NOT be output until the following tag confirmation is complete:

   Pad the additional data and plaintext with zeros until they are each
   a multiple of 16 bytes, the AES block size.  Calculate the length
   block and X_1, X_2, ... as above and compute
   S_s = POLYVAL(message-authentication-key, X_1, X_2, ...)

RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   Compute the expected tag by XORing S_s and the nonce, clearing the
   most significant bit of the last byte and encrypting with the
   message-encryption key.  Compare the provided and expected tag values
   in constant time.  Fail the decryption if they do not match (and do
   not release the plaintext); otherwise, return the plaintext.

   In pseudocode form, the decryption process can be expressed as:

                additional_data) {
     if bytelen(ciphertext) < 16 || bytelen(ciphertext) > 2^36 + 16 {
       fail()
     }
     if bytelen(additional_data) > 2^36 {
       fail()
     }

     message_encryption_key, message_authentication_key =
         derive_keys(key_generating_key, nonce)

     tag = ciphertext[bytelen(ciphertext)-16:]

     counter_block = tag
     counter_block[15] |= 0x80
     plaintext = AES_CTR(key = message_encryption_key,
                         initial_counter_block = counter_block,
                         in = ciphertext[:bytelen(ciphertext)-16])

     }

     if xor_sum != 0 {
       fail()
     }

     return plaintext
   }

6.  AEADs

   We define two AEADs, in the format of RFC 5116, that use AES-GCM-SIV:
   AEAD_AES_128_GCM_SIV and AEAD_AES_256_GCM_SIV.  They differ only in
   the size of the AES key used.

   The key input to these AEADs becomes the key-generating key.  Thus,
   AEAD_AES_128_GCM_SIV takes a 16-byte key and AEAD_AES_256_GCM_SIV
   takes a 32-byte key.

   The parameters for AEAD_AES_128_GCM_SIV are then as follows:
   K_LEN is 16, P_MAX is 2^36, A_MAX is 2^36, N_MIN and N_MAX are 12,
   and C_MAX is 2^36 + 16.

   The parameters for AEAD_AES_256_GCM_SIV differ only in the key size:
   K_LEN is 32, P_MAX is 2^36, A_MAX is 2^36, N_MIN and N_MAX are 12,
   and C_MAX is 2^36 + 16.

7.  Field Operation Examples

   Polynomials in this document will be written as 16-byte values.  For
   example, the sixteen bytes 01000000000000000000000000000492 would
   represent the polynomial x^127 + x^124 + x^121 + x^114 + 1, which is
   also the value of x^-128 in this field.

      If a = 66e94bd4ef8a2c3b884cfa59ca342b2e and
         b = ff000000000000000000000000000000,
    then a + b = 99e94bd4ef8a2c3b884cfa59ca342b2e,
         a * b = 37856175e9dc9df26ebc6d6171aa0ae9, and
         dot(a, b) = ebe563401e7e91ea3ad6426b8140c394.

8.  Worked Example

   Consider the encryption of the plaintext "Hello world" with the
   additional data "example" under key ee8e1ed9ff2540ae8f2ba9f50bc2f27c
   using AEAD_AES_128_GCM_SIV.  The random nonce that we'll use for this
   example is 752abad3e0afb5f434dc4310.

   In order to generate the message-authentication and message-
   encryption keys, a counter is combined with the nonce to form four
   blocks.  These blocks are encrypted with the key given above:

   Counter |       Nonce                         Ciphertext
   00000000752abad3e0afb5f434dc4310 -> 310728d9911f1f38c40e952ca83d093e
   01000000752abad3e0afb5f434dc4310 -> 37b24316c3fab9a046ae90952daa0450
   02000000752abad3e0afb5f434dc4310 -> a4c5ae624996327947920b2d2412474b
   03000000752abad3e0afb5f434dc4310 -> c100be4d7e2c6edd1efef004305ab1e7

Gueron, et al.                Informational                    [Page 10]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   The latter halves of the ciphertext blocks are discarded and the
   remaining bytes are concatenated to form the per-message keys.  Thus,
   the message-authentication key is 310728d9911f1f3837b24316c3fab9a0,
   and the message-encryption key is a4c5ae6249963279c100be4d7e2c6edd.

   The length block contains the encoding of the bit lengths of the
   additional data and plaintext, respectively.  The string "example" is
   seven characters, thus 56 bits (or 0x38 in hex).  The string "Hello
   world" is 11 characters, or 88 = 0x58 bits.  Thus, the length block
   is 38000000000000005800000000000000.

   The input to POLYVAL is the padded additional data, padded plaintext,
   and then the length block.  This is 6578616d706c650000000000000000004
   8656c6c6f20776f726c64000000000038000000000000005800000000000000,
   based on the ASCII encoding of "example" (6578616d706c65) and "Hello
   world" (48656c6c6f20776f726c64).

   Calling POLYVAL with the message-authentication key and the input
   above results in S_s = ad7fcf0b5169851662672f3c5f95138f.

   Before encrypting, the nonce is XORed in and the most significant bit
   of the last byte is cleared.  This gives
   d85575d8b1c630e256bb6c2c5f95130f, because that bit happened to be one
   previously.  Encrypting with the message-encryption key (using
   AES-128) gives the tag, which is 4fbcdeb7e4793f4a1d7e4faa70100af1.

   In order to form the initial counter block, the most significant bit
   of the last byte of the tag is set to one.  That doesn't result in a
   change in this example.  Encrypting this with the message key (using
   AES-128) gives the first block of the keystream:
   1551f2c1787e81deac9a99f139540ab5.

   The final ciphertext is the result of XORing the plaintext with the
   keystream and appending the tag.  That gives
   5d349ead175ef6b1def6fd4fbcdeb7e4793f4a1d7e4faa70100af1.

9.  Security Considerations

   AES-GCM-SIV decryption involves first producing an unauthenticated
   plaintext.  This plaintext is vulnerable to manipulation by an
   attacker; thus, if an implementation released some or all of the
   plaintext before authenticating it, other parts of a system may
   process malicious data as if it were authentic.  AES-GCM might be
   less likely to lead implementations to do this because there the
   ciphertext is generally authenticated before, or concurrently with,
   the plaintext calculation.  Therefore, this text requires that
   implementations MUST NOT release unauthenticated plaintext.  Thus,
   system designers should consider memory limitations when picking the

Gueron, et al.                Informational                    [Page 11]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   size of AES-GCM-SIV plaintexts: large plaintexts may not fit in the
   available memory of some machines, tempting implementations to
   release unverified plaintext.

   A detailed cryptographic analysis of AES-GCM-SIV appears in
   [AES-GCM-SIV], and the remainder of this section is a summary of that
   paper.

   The AEADs defined in this document calculate fresh AES keys for each
   nonce.  This allows a larger number of plaintexts to be encrypted
   under a given key.  Without this step, AES-GCM-SIV encryption would
   be limited by the birthday bound like other standard modes (e.g.,
   AES-GCM, AES-CCM [RFC3610], and AES-SIV [RFC5297]).  This means that
   when 2^64 blocks have been encrypted overall, a distinguishing
   adversary who is trying to break the confidentiality of the scheme
   has an advantage of 1/2.  Thus, in order to limit the adversary's
   advantage to 2^-32, at most 2^48 blocks can be encrypted overall.  In
   contrast, by deriving fresh keys from each nonce, it is possible to
   encrypt a far larger number of messages and blocks with AES-GCM-SIV.

   We stress that nonce misuse-resistant schemes guarantee that if a
   nonce repeats, then the only security loss is that identical
   plaintexts will produce identical ciphertexts.  Since this can also
   be a concern (as the fact that the same plaintext has been encrypted
   twice is revealed), we do not recommend using a fixed nonce as a
   policy.  In addition, as we show below, better-than-birthday bounds
   are achieved by AES-GCM-SIV when the nonce repetition rate is low.
   Finally, as shown in [BHT18], there is a great security benefit in
   the multiuser/multikey setting when each particular nonce is reused
   by a small number of users only.  We stress that the nonce misuse-
   resistance property is not intended to be coupled with intentional
   nonce reuse; rather, such schemes provide the best possible security
   in the event of nonce reuse.  Due to all of the above, it is
   RECOMMENDED that AES-GCM-SIV nonces be randomly generated.

   Some example usage bounds for AES-GCM-SIV are given below.  The
   adversary's advantage is the "AdvEnc" from [key-derive] and is
   colloquially the ability of an attacker to distinguish ciphertexts
   from random bit strings.  The bounds below limit this advantage to
   2^-32.  For up to 256 uses of the same nonce and key (i.e., where one
   can assume that nonce misuse is no more than this bound), the
   following message limits should be respected (this assumes a short
   additional authenticated data (AAD), i.e., less than 64 bytes):

      2^29 messages, where each plaintext is at most 1 GiB

      2^35 messages, where each plaintext is at most 128 MiB

Gueron, et al.                Informational                    [Page 12]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

      2^49 messages, where each plaintext is at most 1 MiB

      2^61 messages, where each plaintext is at most 16 KiB

   Suzuki et al. [multi-birthday] show that even if nonces are selected
   uniformly at random, the probability that one or more values would be
   repeated 256 or more times is negligible until the number of nonces
   reaches 2^102.  (Specifically, the probability is 1/((2^96)^(255)) *
   Binomial(q, 256), where q is the number of nonces.)  Since 2^102 is
   vastly greater than the limit on the number of plaintexts per key
   given above, we don't feel that this limit on the number of repeated
   nonces will be a problem.  This also means that selecting nonces at
   random is a safe practice with AES-GCM-SIV.  The bounds obtained for
   random nonces are as follows (as above, for these bounds, the
   adversary's advantage is at most 2^-32):

      2^32 messages, where each plaintext is at most 8 GiB

      2^48 messages, where each plaintext is at most 32 MiB

      2^64 messages, where each plaintext is at most 128 KiB

   For situations where, for some reason, an even higher number of nonce
   repeats is possible (e.g., in devices with very poor randomness), the
   message limits need to be reconsidered.  Theorem 7 in [AES-GCM-SIV]
   contains more details, but for up to 1,024 repeats of each nonce, the
   limits would be (again assuming a short AAD, i.e., less than 64
   bytes):

      2^25 messages, where each plaintext is at most 1 GiB

      2^31 messages, where each plaintext is at most 128 MiB

      2^45 messages, where each plaintext is at most 1 MiB

      2^57 messages, where each plaintext is at most 16 KiB

   In addition to calculating fresh AES keys for each nonce, these AEADs
   also calculate fresh POLYVAL keys.  Previous versions of GCM-SIV did
   not do this and instead used part of the AEAD's key as the POLYVAL
   key.  Bleichenbacher pointed out [Bleichenbacher16] that this allowed
   an attacker who controlled the AEAD key to force the POLYVAL key to
   be zero.  If a user of this AEAD authenticated messages with a secret
   additional-data value, then this would be insecure as the attacker
   could calculate a valid authenticator without knowing the input.
   This does not violate the standard properties of an AEAD as the

Gueron, et al.                Informational                    [Page 13]
RFC 8452                       AES-GCM-SIV                    April 2019

   additional data is not assumed to be confidential.  However, we want
   these AEADs to be robust against plausible misuse and also to be
   drop-in replacements for AES-GCM and so derive nonce-specific POLYVAL
   keys to avoid this issue.

   We also wish to note that the probability of successful forgery
   increases with the number of attempts that an attacker is permitted.
   The advantage defined in [key-derive] and used above is specified in
   terms of the ability of an attacker to distinguish ciphertexts from
   random bit strings.  It thus covers both confidentiality and
   integrity, and Theorem 6.2 in [key-derive] shows that the advantage
   increases with the number of decryption attempts, although much more
   slowly than with the number of encryptions; the dependence on the
   number of decryption queries for forgery is actually only linear, not
   quadratic.  The latter is an artifact of the bound in the paper not
   being tight.  If an attacker is permitted extremely large numbers of
   attempts, then the tiny probability that any given attempt succeeds
   may sum to a non-trivial chance.

   A security analysis of a similar scheme without nonce-based key
   derivation appears in [GCM-SIV], and a full analysis of the bounds
   when applying nonce-based key derivation appears in [key-derive].  A
   larger table of bounds and other information appears at
   [aes-gcm-siv-homepage].

   The multiuser/multikey security of AES-GCM-SIV was studied by
   [BHT18], which showed that security is almost the same as in the
   single-user setting, as long as nonces do not repeat many times
   across many users.  This is the case when nonces are chosen randomly.

10.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has added two entries to the "AEAD Algorithms" registry:
   AEAD_AES_128_GCM_SIV (Numeric ID 30) and AEAD_AES_256_GCM_SIV
   (Numeric ID 31), both referencing this document as their
   specification.

Appendix A.  The Relationship between POLYVAL and GHASH

   GHASH and POLYVAL both operate in GF(2^128), although with different
   irreducible polynomials: POLYVAL works modulo x^128 + x^127 + x^126 +
   x^121 + 1 and GHASH works modulo x^128 + x^7 + x^2 + x + 1.  Note
   that these irreducible polynomials are the "reverse" of each other.

   GHASH also has a different mapping between 128-bit strings and field
   elements.  Whereas POLYVAL takes the least significant to most
   significant bits of the first byte to be the coefficients of x^0 to
   x^7, GHASH takes them to be the coefficients of x^7 to x^0.  This
   continues until, for the last byte, POLYVAL takes the least
   significant to most significant bits to be the coefficients of x^120
   to x^127, while GHASH takes them to be the coefficients of x^127 to
   x^120.

   The combination of these facts means that it's possible to "convert"
   values between the two by reversing the order of the bytes in a
   16-byte string.  The differing interpretations of bit order takes
   care of reversing the bits within each byte, and then reversing the
   bytes does the rest.  This may have a practical benefit for
   implementations that wish to implement both GHASH and POLYVAL.

   In order to be clear which field a given operation is performed in,
   let mulX_GHASH be a function that takes a 16-byte string, converts it
   to an element of GHASH's field using GHASH's convention, multiplies
   it by x, and converts it back to a string.  Likewise, let
   mulX_POLYVAL be a function that converts a 16-byte string to an
   element of POLYVAL's field using POLYVAL's convention, multiplies it
   by x, and converts it back.

   Given the 16-byte string 01000000000000000000000000000000, mulX_GHASH
   of that string is 00800000000000000000000000000000 and mulX_POLYVAL
   of that string is 02000000000000000000000000000000.  As a more
   general example, given 9c98c04df9387ded828175a92ba652d8, mulX_GHASH
   of that string is 4e4c6026fc9c3ef6c140bad495d3296c and mulX_POLYVAL
   of it is 3931819bf271fada0503eb52574ca5f2.

   Lastly, let ByteReverse be the function that takes a 16-byte string
   and returns a copy where the order of the bytes has been reversed.

   Now GHASH and POLYVAL can be defined in terms of one another:

   POLYVAL(H, X_1, ..., X_n) =
   ByteReverse(GHASH(mulX_GHASH(ByteReverse(H)), ByteReverse(X_1), ...,
   ByteReverse(X_n)))

   GHASH(H, X_1, ..., X_n) =
   ByteReverse(POLYVAL(mulX_POLYVAL(ByteReverse(H)), ByteReverse(X_1),
   ..., ByteReverse(X_n)))

   As a worked example:
      let H = 25629347589242761d31f826ba4b757b,
          X_1 = 4f4f95668c83dfb6401762bb2d01a262, and
          X_2 = d1a24ddd2721d006bbe45f20d3c9f362.
      POLYVAL(H, X_1, X_2) = f7a3b47b846119fae5b7866cf5e5b77e.

   If we wished to calculate this given only an implementation of GHASH,
   then the key for GHASH would be

   mulX_GHASH(ByteReverse(H)) = dcbaa5dd137c188ebb21492c23c9b112.

   Then ByteReverse(GHASH(dcba..., ByteReverse(X_1), ByteReverse(X_2)))
        = f7a3b47b846119fae5b7866cf5e5b77e, as required.

   In the other direction, GHASH(H, X_1, X_2) =
   bd9b3997046731fb96251b91f9c99d7a.  If we wished to calculate this
   given only an implementation of POLYVAL, then we would first
   calculate the key for POLYVAL:

  mulX_POLYVAL(ByteReverse(H)) = f6ea96744df0633aec8424b18e26c54a.

  Then ByteReverse(POLYVAL(f6ea..., ByteReverse(X_1), ByteReverse(X_2)))
       = bd9b3997046731fb96251b91f9c99d7a.

   SIV that are also worth noting:

   AES-GCM allows plaintexts to be encrypted in a streaming fashion --
   i.e., the beginning of the plaintext can be encrypted and transmitted
   before the entire message has been processed.  AES-GCM-SIV requires
   two passes for encryption and so cannot do this.

   AES-GCM allows a constant additional-data input to be precomputed in
   order to save per-message computation.  AES-GCM-SIV varies the
   authenticator key based on the nonce and so does not permit this.

   The performance for AES-GCM versus AES-GCM-SIV on small machines can
   be roughly characterized by the number of AES operations and the
   number of GF(2^128) multiplications needed to process a message.

      Let a = (bytelen(additional-data) + 15) / 16 and
          p = (bytelen(plaintext) + 15) / 16.

   Then AES-GCM requires p + 1 AES operations and p + a + 1 field
   multiplications.

   Defined similarly, AES-GCM-SIV with AES-128 requires p + 5 AES
   operations and p + a + 1 field multiplications.  With AES-256, that
   becomes p + 7 AES operations.

   With large machines, the available parallelism becomes far more
   important, and such simple performance analysis is no longer
   representative.  For such machines, we find that decryption of AES-
   GCM-SIV is only about 5% slower than AES-GCM, as long as the message
   is at least a couple of kilobytes.  Encryption tends to run about
   two-thirds the speed because of the additional pass required.
