chunked-streaming mode. I mentioned this a couple years ago but
didn't get much discussion:
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/openpgp/current/msg07546.html
for easier reference, here is Tom's mail:

Adam's post on streaming API's has been posted before:
<https://www.imperialviolet.org/2014/06/27/streamingencryption.html>
The same problem is the root cause of the Java GCM CipherInputStream
issue:
<http://blog.philippheckel.com/2014/03/01/cipherinputstream-for-aead-modes-is-broken-in-jdk7-gcm/>
But I haven't seen any discussion of Adam's point that one _can_
construct a format for chunking and authenticating the chunks (and
ordering thereof) to provide authenticated streaming. And that someone
has already done so:
<https://github.com/kaepora/miniLock#4-file-encryption>
I think support for a mode like this would be good to consider, and I
think if IPR allows it, a fully-specified design for it is a good
place to start.
