Simple and for a long time regularly used IT security procedure and yet this is a salting of the keys with nonce:

🧂🔑 == more security through nonce

P.S. The problem is that encryptions have to be activated for most services and many fail because they seem to have nothing to hide. Do they really care about your security?

“We export public money and import long-term dependency.” - This was one of my key messages in my policy keynote at the OpenForum Europe EU Open Source Policy Summit 2026 last Friday in Brussels. Besides addressing why dependencies threaten our governmental action and what state sovereignty means today, I focused particularly on the economic aspect of Open Source. #OpenSource is a #key #driver of #economic #growth. An opportunity that we in Europe should seize.

Carelessness versus craftsmanship in cryptography

Two popular AES libraries, aes-js and pyaes, “helpfully” provide a default IV in their AES-CTR API, leading to a large number of key/IV reuse bugs. […] The aes-js/pyaes maintainer, on the other hand, has taken a more… cavalier approach.
