3DES is still the must-implement encryption algorithm.  AES128 seems
like the logical choice here, since it's already MTI because of ECDH.

I am fine with that choice.

There is also the suggestion to make AES-nnn mandatory and 3DES optional
when used with v5 keys.  I would be in favor of that; I don't care on
whether this is AES-128 or AES-256.

I suggest that we make the AEAD mode, whatever we pick, mandatory as
well.

We can only do that when used with v5 keys.  We can't do that in
general.


Salam-Shalom,
