Is there anything fundamental in encryption that restricts data unit > sizes to a power of two? I don't know the answer myself. Well, the data unit size has to evenly divide the size of the request (for requests that have an encryption context which specifies that data unit size). So if the data unit size was, say, 1536 bytes, then all requests would have to be multiples of 1536 bytes. That has a factor of 3 in it, so it would be impossible to make any power-of-2 size request. That sounds pretty impractical; it's hard to see how and why we would ever support such a thing. - Eric
