CAESAR Competition
The Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability, and Robustness (CAESAR) is a competition organized by a group of international cryptologic researcher to encourage the design of authenticated encryption schemes. The competition was announced at the Early Symmetric Crypto workshop in January 2013 and the final portfolio in February 2019.

Use Cases 
The final CAESAR portfolio is organized into three use cases:

 1: Lightweight applications (resource constrained environments)
 2: High-performance applications
 3: Defense in depth

Final Portfolio 
The final portfolio announced by the CAESAR committee is:
