On the security margin of MAC striping
MAC striping has been suggested as a technique to authenticate encrypted payloads using short tags. For an idealized MAC scheme, the probability of a selective forgery has been estimated as , when utilizing MAC striping with -bit payloads and -bit tags. We show that this estimate is too optimistic. For and any payload, we achieve a selective forgery with probability , and usually many orders of magnitude more than that
