Dear all, For the third round of the competition we have updated the Deoxys document and you can find the new version here (see the changelog for the modifications we have done in the document): http://www1.spms.ntu.edu.sg/~syllab/m/images/8/87/Deoxys.v1.4.pdf
We emphasize that we have further refined the nonce-misuse resistant mode of Deoxys to make it more efficient, in particular for small messages, while in addition providing higher security guarantees (graceful degradation of security with the maximal number of repetitions of nonces). In other words, Deoxys-II provides full security (128-bit) in the nonce-respecting scenario, and when the nonce is not repeated too often, Deoxys-II still provides close to full security.
