Abstract

We provide new security proofs for PMAC, TMAC, and XCBC message authentication modes. The previous security bounds for these modes were σ2/2n, where n is the block size in bits and σ is the total number of queried message blocks. Our new bounds are lq2/2n for PMAC and lq2/2n + 4q2/22n for TMAC and XCBC, where q is the number of queries and l is the maximum message length in n-bit blocks. This improves the previous results under most practical cases, e.g., when no message is exceptionally long compared to other messages.
