!!! Overview [{$pagename}] (Encrypt-then-Authenticate-then-translate) is a [Block Cipher Mode] [Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data] ([AEAD]) [algorithm] designed to simultaneously provide both [Authenticated Encryption] of the message with a two-pass scheme, one pass for achieving [Confidentiality] and one for [Authentication] for each [block]. [{$pagename}] mode was submitted on October 3, 2003 to the attention of [NIST] in order to replace [CCM] as standard [AEAD] mode of operation, since [CCM] mode lacks some desirable attributes of [{$pagename}] and is more complex. !!
