>If it is still possible, we (David McGrew and myself) would like to
>present our new block cipher mode of operation, ABL, tomorrow. It is a
>way to turn a fixed width block cipher into a block cipher with an
>arbitrary block size that is well-suited for hardware implementations.

>I've attached an early draft of our specification for the group. Our
>original motivations included providing a provably secure alternative
>to NIST's AES Key Wrap, but we thought it might be of interest to this
>group. Since this work is still young, we would be open to tailoring
>the algorithm to the requirements of the group.
