As someone who works professionally in the payments industry alongside
people who are directly implementing EMV protocols, let me note: those are
not IETF protocols and should not have bearing on IETF/IRTF decisions
regarding deprecations of protocols in TLS or other IETF protocols. But I'm

..but is not a terribly dissimilar traffic volume to recover plaintexts
from similar attacks against RC4, which received "diediedie" in RFC7465.

Perhaps notable is the RC4 attacks work across multiple session keys,
whereas SWEET32 requires the same key, but I think the practical
consequences regarding data volume limits are similar.
