#28: AES-GCM should not be allowed for content encryption in combination with
Direct Encryption key management mode


Comment (by [email protected]):

 It is not true that there is no need to keep track in this case.  An
 application would still need to ensure that it does not re-use the nonce
 value when doing the encryption.  The simplest way to do this is to have a
 counter which can then be used to say it has been exceeded.

 One of the stated goals for this group is to allow crypto to be done by
 people who are not experts.  This means that we need to ensure that there
 is good text that can be understood to deal with those cases where it is
 going to be very easy to get things wrong.  This is probably one of those
 cases.
