Hello Dmytro,

as you're probably aware, It Is Done[1].

The final specification does heed the previously cited recommendations,
so I think there are now *3* options to allocate identifiers for:

* Ascon-AEAD128. unmodified, with its 128bit tag.
* Ascon-AEAD128/64. Tag truncated to 𝜆=64bit. While the old section 4.3
  had harsh limits on decryption failures on that mode (just 1 failure),
  that was relaxed to 2^(𝜆-32), which puts it in a similar league as the
  corresponding 64-bit tag variant of AES.
* Ascon-AEAD128/32. Tag truncated to 𝜆=32bit. This is now where the
  stern wording previously applied to 𝜆=64 is at. I suggest still
  assignging numbers for it, for there are use cases[2] -- but it may be
  prudent to place a "No" (or "Filter only"?) in the COSE Algorithms
  "Recommended" column for this one to discourage unreflected use.

(Or 4, given that Ascon-Hash256 is unmodified on my wishlist).

Thanks
Christian
