Nonce-based Encryption
A cryptographic method using a unique value (nonce) to prevent replay attacks.
Understanding:
Nonce-based encryption uses a unique, one-time random value (nonce) in cryptographic operations to ensure data integrity and prevent replay attacks.
Common Applications and Use Cases:
Used in secure communications, such as TLS and IPSec.
Implemented in blockchain transactions to prevent double-spending.
Ensures freshness in authentication protocols like Kerberos.
Best Practices and Security Considerations:
Use cryptographically secure random nonces.
Ensure nonces are never reused with the same encryption key.
Implement proper nonce management to avoid security flaws.
