Nobody here is ever going to send over 2^68 bytes of data
in a single session.
I think that's a flawed assumption. I don't think you shouldn assume that there will ever be a certain limit on the amount of data sent in a single session. People are paid (mountains worth) just to work toward breaking that assumption in the fastest time possible.
Anytime someone is paid money to break barriers I avoid betting against them.
- cperciva 16y agoIf you send 2^68 bytes over a next-next-next-generation ethernet at 1 Tbps, you'll still run into the Y2038 bug before you finish. Also, if you're sending more than 2^68 bytes of data, CBC is insecure too.
- tptacek 16y agoThe bugs here have generally little to do with how much data you send.
