5.4 AES-EAX Algorithm

EAX mode was submitted on October 3, 2003, to NIST by Mihir Bellare, Phillip Rogaway, and David Wagner. It utilizes AES-CTR mode for encryption and AES-OMAC for authentication. In EAX mode, authentication is provided over additional associated data (AAD), while both confidentiality and authentication are ensured over the plaintext data.
