== How to fix it in pyca
=== Code examples
The example uses a hardcoded IV as a nonce, which causes AES-CCM to be insecure. To fix it, a nonce is randomly generated instead.
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,python,diff-id=201,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead import AESGCM
def encrypt(key, plaintext):
nonce = '7cVgr5cbdCZV'.encode('utf-8')
cipher = AESGCM(key)
cipher.encrypt(nonce, plaintext, None) # Noncompliant
----
==== Compliant solution
[source,python,diff-id=201,diff-type=compliant]
----
from os import urandom
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead import AESGCM
def encrypt(key, plaintext):
nonce = urandom(12)
cipher = AESGCM(key)
cipher.encrypt(nonce, plaintext, None)
