atoponce, 1 month ago Speaking of which, why did RFC 8439 pick the nonce as "00:00:00:09:00:00:00:4a:00:00:00:00" when verifying test vectors for the block function? https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8439#section-2.3.2 Similarly, "00:00:00:00:00:00:00:4a:00:00:00:00" when verifying test vectors for the encryption function? https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8439#section-2.4.2 0x4a is "J" in ASCII. Significant?
