The Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability, and Robustness (CAESAR) is a competition organized by a group of international cryptologic researchers to encourage the design of authenticated encryption schemes.[1] The competition was announced at the Early Symmetric Crypto workshop in January 2013 and the final portfolio in February 2019.

## Use Cases

[edit]

The final CAESAR portfolio is organized into three use cases:[2]

* 1: Lightweight applications (resource constrained environments)
* 2: High-performance applications
* 3: Defense in depth

## Final Portfolio

[edit]

The final portfolio announced by the CAESAR committee is:[2]

Use Case 1 (Lightweight applications)  | Use Case 2 (High-performance applications)  | Use Case 3 (Defense in depth)

Ascon | AEGIS-128  | Deoxys-II
ACORN  | OCB | COLM
