libsodium.IncrementNonce

Method Signature

 Protected Function IncrementNonce(Nonce As MemoryBlock) As MemoryBlock

Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
Nonce	MemoryBlock	The nonce to increment

Return value

The incremented nonce, or Nil on error.

Remarks

This method increments the Nonce. This allows two users to generate the same sequence of nonces from an original, shared, nonce. Nonces do not need to be secret or unpredictable, but must not be used twice with the same key.
