Function sodiumoxide::crypto::stream::chacha20::gen_nonce
[−]
[src]
pub fn gen_nonce() -> Nonce
gen_nonce()
randomly generates a nonce for symmetric encryption
THREAD SAFETY: gen_nonce()
is thread-safe provided that you have
called sodiumoxide::init()
once before using any other function
from sodiumoxide.
NOTE: When using primitives with short nonces (e.g. salsa20, salsa208, salsa2012) do not use random nonces since the probability of nonce-collision is not negligible
