Disk Encryption: Wide-Block Modes, Authentication Tags Aren’t Silver Bullets
Analyzes XTS mode's vulnerabilities and discusses IEEE's proposed key scope limits.
"What makes this attack particularly concerning is its practicality in real-world scenarios. Unlike previous attacks against full-disk encryption requiring precise file location knowledge, CrashXTS succeeds through controlled randomization of encrypted data."

In preparation for automatic testing XTS can now create reproducible PDFs (identical checksum on each run). This makes it easier to compare a PDF file against a reference PDF.
Also add the support for muliple runs.
A new example is online at https://github.com/speedata/xts-examples/tree/main/introduction/planets which show how to create a table of contents.
