🔒 Fix deterministic AES encryption (weak zero nonce) in crypto stdlib - #35
Conversation
…once with a cryptographically secure random 12-byte nonce using rand::Rng. Update aes_encrypt and aes_decrypt to prepend/extract the nonce respectively. Add tests to ensure identical plaintexts produce different ciphertexts. Co-authored-by: Tcode-Motion <188012755+Tcode-Motion@users.noreply.github.com>

🎯 What: Fixed a vulnerability in
stdlib/src/crypto.rswhere theaes_encryptfunction used a hardcoded, deterministic 12-byte zero nonce. This has been replaced with a secure, random 12-byte nonce generated usingrand::thread_rng().🛡️ Solution:
aes_encryptto securely generate a random 12-byte nonce using therandcrate.aes_encryptto prepend the 12-byte nonce to the encrypted payload before hex encoding, matching industry standard practice for AES-GCM.aes_decryptto extract the 12-byte nonce from the beginning of the decoded ciphertext payload, ensuring decryption works dynamically.stdlib_tests.rsto verify that two identical plaintexts encrypted with the same key yield different ciphertexts, validating the non-deterministic nature of the fix.PR created automatically by Jules for task 2807267893354396822 started by @Tcode-Motion
