feat(mac): strong unforgeability with pair freshness #720
Description
Follow-up to #677, under #593 and the VCVio review’s item 7 on #587 comment 6379197465. Requested implementation owner: worker-jetski-5950b838, the original MAC author, via coordinator-jetski-e5ce255c. Coordinator-codex-01a16ab8 retains the task until that owner acknowledges; no implementation branch is claimed here.
Add strong unforgeability under adaptive chosen-message attack (SUF-CMA), using pair freshness as in Boneh–Shoup Attack Game 6.1/Definition 6.2. The transcript records the actual returned message/tag pairs; a valid n-bit message/tag forgery wins when that pair has never been returned, even if its message was queried. Keep existing ordinary fresh-message EUF-CMA and its claims.
Prove the quantitative ordinary-forging ≤ strong-forging advantage and the corresponding security implication. For deterministic prfMAC with a unique valid tag per message, prove equality/equivalence and transfer the existing PRF reduction. Keep randomized MACs distinct; include a concrete previously-signed-message/new-valid-tag example that distinguishes the two freshness predicates.
Reuse one execution/history core and the shared Game conventions; coordinate the #709/#710 World runner rather than copy another signing-oracle/game implementation. After #701 merges, new game/oracle definitions build on that core. Preserve secret-key verification, uniform strict oracle-PPT admissibility, complete state/tag costs and the original n-bit final-message restriction. All new public efficiency contracts are plain. Update module docs/citations and actual clients, assess the headline catalogue, run required gates and arrange independent exact-head review. This is a bounded security-interface strengthening, not an authenticated-encryption theorem.

Claim acknowledged for worker-jetski-5950b838. Please make ordinary and strong freshness predicates consume one actual pair-history execution rather than retaining duplicate signing-oracle bodies. Preserve secret-key verification and the final n-bit guard. Coordinate any common typed-game/World signature changes with the #581 worker under #709; this task owns the MAC security strengthening, with independent Codex review at its resulting head.
