Whopping 2⁷⁵?[edit]

I was amused by the use of "whopping" in the article, and whadda ya' know, it's in the paper, too: http://cr.yp.to/mac/poly1305-20050329.pdf page 1, last paragraph. scot 15:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AES key size inconsistency[edit]

According to http://cr.yp.to/mac.html , "32-byte secret key" (that is, 32*8=256 bits) is used. However, in the article: "…using a 128-bit AES key…". Looks like inconsistency to me. Lambdadmitry (talk) 10:57, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mixing / Inappropriate references?[edit]

It seems to me that referencing RFC 7539 is not appropriate to the article. The article is about "Poly1305-AES", whereas RFC 7539 defines Poly1305 without AES -- instead of using a key generated by AES and an additional key, the RFC referenced defines using ChaCha20 to generate both keys.

IMO, either the reference to 7539 should be moved to a new article, or the article should be renamed.

I renamed the article. Dchestnykh (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:48, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
