pub type Hctr2pp_256 = Hctr2pp<Aes256>;
Expand description

HCTR2++ with an AES-256 master key.

AES-256 is used only to derive the hash and re-keying subkeys from the master key. The R3 re-keyed block cipher calls are always AES-128, because the R3 scheme produces n-bit ephemeral keys, so this variant does NOT provide 256-bit security: the effective primitive strength is 128 bits, exactly as with Hctr2pp_128. Choose it only when key management mandates a 256-bit master key.
