Detailed Description

Romulus authenticated encryption algorithm family.

Romulus is a family of authenticated encryption algorithms that are built around the SKINNY-128 tweakable block cipher. There are six members in the family:

• Romulus-N1 has a 128-bit key, a 128-bit nonce, and a 128-bit tag, based around the SKINNY-128-384 tweakable block cipher. This is the primary member of the family.
• Romulus-N2 has a 128-bit key, a 96-bit nonce, and a 128-bit tag, based around the SKINNY-128-384 tweakable block cipher.
• Romulus-N3 has a 128-bit key, a 96-bit nonce, and a 128-bit tag, based around the SKINNY-128-256 tweakable block cipher.
• Romulus-M1 has a 128-bit key, a 128-bit nonce, and a 128-bit tag, based around the SKINNY-128-384 tweakable block cipher.
• Romulus-M2 has a 128-bit key, a 96-bit nonce, and a 128-bit tag, based around the SKINNY-128-384 tweakable block cipher.
• Romulus-M3 has a 128-bit key, a 96-bit nonce, and a 128-bit tag, based around the SKINNY-128-256 tweakable block cipher.

The Romulus-M variants are resistant to nonce reuse as long as the combination of the associated data and plaintext is unique. If the same associated data and plaintext are reused under the same nonce, then the scheme will leak that the same plaintext has been sent for a second time but will not reveal the plaintext itself.
