US Patent 11558359 Replay protection nonce generation

Devices and techniques for replay protection nonce generation are described herein. A hash, of a first length, can be produced from a first input. A first subset of the hash can be extracted as a selector. A second subset of the hash can be selected using the selector. Here, the second subset has a second length that is less than the first length. The second subset can be transmitted as a nonce for a freshness value in a replay protected communication.
