The *Secure Channel* splits the object content into chunks of a fixed size of `65536` bytes. The last chunk may be smaller to avoid adding additional overhead and is treated specially to prevent truncation attacks. The nonce value is 96 bits long and generated randomly per object / multi-part part. The *Secure Channel* supports plaintexts up to `65536 * 2^32 = 256 TiB`.
