 is able to successfully forge a packet; see {{AEBounds}} and {{ROBUST}}.

 For AEAD_AES_128_GCM, AEAD_AES_256_GCM, and AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305, the limit on
 the number of packets that fail authentication is 2^36.  Note that the analysis
 in {{AEBounds}} supports a higher limit for the AEAD_AES_128_GCM and
