Some poorly designed protocols require to test for “contributory”
|
|
behaviour, which ensures that no untrusted party forces the shared secret to a
|
|
known constant. Protocols should instead be designed in such a way that no
|
|
such check is necessary, namely by authenticating the other party or
|
|
exchanging keys over a trusted channel.

<div class="Pp"></div>
|
|
Do not use the same secret key for both key exchanges and signatures. The public
|
|
keys are different, and revealing both may leak information. If there really
|
|
is no room to store or derive two different secret keys, consider generating a
|
|
key pair for signatures and then converting it with
|
|
<a class="Xr" title="Xr" href="crypto_from_eddsa_private.html">crypto_from_eddsa_private(3monocypher)</a>
|
|
and

If either of the long term secret keys leaks, it may compromise
|
|
<i class="Em" title="Em">all past messages</i>. This can be avoided by using
|
|
protocols that provide forward secrecy, such as the X3DH key agreement

protocol.
