While AES-SIV-CMAC allows nonces of any length, AES-GCM-SIV requires
exactly 12 bytes, which is less than the unpadded minimum length of 16
used in the NTS authenticator field. These functions will be needed to
support both ciphers in the NTS code.
This is a newer nonce misuse-resistant cipher specified in RFC 8452,
which is now supported in the development code of the Nettle library.
The advantages over AES-SIV-CMAC-256 are shorter keys and better
performance.
