I guess we need to get into release mode soon (I'll send another message
to try to sort out loose ends), but it might be possible to to ocb. I've
had a quick look at RFC7253. According to wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCB_mode), that is "OCB2", is that the
relevant version?

Has the ietf discussion clarified the patent issues?

I'm going to mail fsf lawyers about the patent license
(http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/ocb/license1.pdf), I suspect they're
not compatible with the LGPL.
