I got to learn this after I started referring to a label at work as 'nonce' because of how it looked -- "NONC-3"

and THEN I found out the definition of the term

[–] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

A nonce is jargon in cryptography. It means a random unique value used to make it impractical for an attacker to guess in a protocol.

I knew the definition from way back and had a time when learning about cryptographic nonces https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_nonce
