From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
