Hi,

I've uploaded a new version of the OCB draft a few days ago. Major changes:

- the nonce construction is now identical to the one from the chacha/poly draft 
to reduce risk of nonce misuse/reuse
- added a security considerations section on data limit under a single key 
(identical to GCM)
- IPR claims for TLS are now fully resolved as far as I can tell - the draft 
contains updated information on the issue

I'm happy to receive any feedback/critique on the draft if anyone is interested 
in reviewing.

BTW: Andy Polyakov has added AESNI optimized assembly for OCB to OpenSSL 
(https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/bd30091c9725bdad1c82bce10839f33ceaa5623b).
 C/B numbers are quite impressive, IMO.

Thanks for your consideration,
Aaron

> Abstract:
>   This memo describes the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
>   in the Offset Codebook Mode (OCB) of operation within Transport Layer
>   Security (TLS) and Datagram TLS (DTLS) to provide confidentiality and
>   data origin authentication.  The AES-OCB algorithm is highly
>   parallelizable, provable secure and can be efficiently implemented in
>   software and hardware providing high performance.  Furthermore, use
>   of AES-OCB in TLS is exempt from former IPR claims by various
>   parties.
