What do you think of having OCB mode in nettle? I particularly like OCB due to it's simplicity and performance comparing to GCM/CCM,
I'd love to see OCB made available in nettle for these exact reasons.
What do you think? Should the FSF be consulted on that?
It seems reasonable to ask the FSF about it for a bigger-picture analysis, but it looks clear to me that nettle itself won't get into any trouble with Rogaway's patents over OCB.
