Poly1305-AES is a state-of-the-art secret-key message-authentication
|
|
code suitable for a wide variety of applications.
|
|
|
|
Poly1305-AES computes a 16-byte authenticator of a message of any
|
|
length, using a 16-byte nonce (unique message number) and a 32-byte
|
|
secret key. Attackers can't modify or forge messages if the message
|
|
sender transmits an authenticator along with each message and the
|
|
message receiver checks each authenticator.
