+AES-256-HCTR2 is another true wide-block encryption mode that is intended for
+use on CPUs with dedicated crypto instructions.  AES-256-HCTR2 has the property
+that a bitflip in the plaintext changes the entire ciphertext.  This property
+makes it desirable for filename encryption since initialization vectors are
+reused within a directory.  For more details on AES-256-HCTR2, see the paper
