I agree with you that AEAD + signed chunks is even better. But,
streaming AEAD still provides a significant improvement relative to
the status quo: it protects against EFAIL-style exfiltration attacks.
Neal: Please stop spreading false information. Our MDC already protects
against this (old) kind of attack. We implemented the new AE algorithms
merely for cryptographic cleanness and speed.
