Reusing a "number used once" (nonce) in AEAD modes can completely destroy the security of the encryption, allowing attackers to decrypt messages.
David Wong is not just a theorist; he is a battle-hardened practitioner of applied cryptography. According to his publisher, Manning, Wong is a senior cryptography engineer at O(1) Labs working on the Mina cryptocurrency. Prior to that, he served as the security lead for the Diem (formally known as Libra) cryptocurrency at Novi, Facebook, and was a security consultant at the Cryptography Services practice of NCC Group.

In our increasingly digital world, cryptography is the hidden, essential foundation of trust. From securing web traffic to enabling cryptocurrencies, cryptographic protocols are active every time we click "send" or make a purchase. However, there is a vast difference between academic, theoretical cryptography and the, often messy, reality of implementing security in real-world systems. Reusing a "number used once" (nonce) in AEAD
Outlines secure token management, WebAuthn standards, and Password-Authenticated Key Exchanges (PAKEs). Prior to that, he served as the security
A look into modern, secure hashing algorithms (such as SHA-256 and SHA-3) and their practical use cases, alongside a warning against obsolete options like MD5 and SHA-1.
Eliminate any design pattern that encrypts data without simultaneously authenticating it. Unauthenticated ciphertexts are chronically prone to adaptive chosen-ciphertext attacks.
