42WARNING
43 The best known result (early 2017) against Spritz is a distinguisher
44 attack on 2**44 outputs with multiple keys/IVs, and on 2**60 outputs
45 with a single key (see doi:10.1007/978-3-662-52993-5_4 for details).
46 These are realistic attacks, so Spritz needs to be considered broken,
47 although for low data applications it should still be useful.
