Overview

Package nonce provides a simple interface for generating standard AES encryption nonces that give strong cryptographic entropy to message encryption.

Types

type ID

type ID [IDLen]byte

ID is a value generated by a hash chain that renews at first use and every time it generates 65536 new ID's.

func NewID

func NewID() (t ID)

NewID returns a random 8 byte nonce to be used as identifiers.

type IV

type IV [IVLen]byte

func New

func New() (n IV)

New reads a nonce from a cryptographically secure random number source
