Cryptography libraries etc. are moving towards exposing AEAD modes by default, so doesn't that make it even more weird to call ECB a default mode?

- tptacek 3y agoIt does. I'm not saying it's not a weird me thing. It was a better rhetorical dunk back when people were rolling their own message encryption; then it served as a kind of warning that if you just took the library defaults and the simplest path to getting your code working, you'd end up with something totally insecure.
