wouldn't data_tag() be more appropriate for authenticating _encrypted_ messages? #8
Description
hi jeroen, on sodium's vignette you talk about how data tagging can be used to authenticate a key,message pair, e.g.:
key <- hash(charToRaw("This is a secret passphrase"))
msg <- serialize(iris, NULL)
mytag <- data_tag(msg, key)
however, since data is often times transmitted/stored in encrypted format, i would think this function's more typical use would be to tag (msg_cipher,key) or even (msg_cipher,key_cipher) pair, e.g.:
key <- hash(charToRaw("This is a secret passphrase"))
msg <- serialize(iris, NULL)
nonce <- random(24)
msg_cipher <- data_encrypt(msg, key, nonce)
mytag <- data_tag(msg_cipher, key) # or even my_tag <- data_tag(msg_cipher, key_cipher)
am i missing something?
