Are you suggesting a very large custom blocksize? I don't think this would be feasible beyond a few megabytes.

Slightly unrelated, but aren't these AES-specific custom CPU instructions just a way to easily collect the encryption keys? There is a speedup but is it worth the risks? If I were a nation state actor, I'd just store the encryptio

This problem needs to be addressed at an operating system level. Websites should be reduced to (paid-for) content providers. Current situation around ad-blocking is just symptom of the problem. Users try to extract value from the website th
