+ <strong>Nonce reuse.</strong> Due to rising entropy
+ prices, Roseacrucis has started to reuse nonces. You must perform the
+ Forbidden Attack in order to recover the authentication key and
+ forge arbitrary ciphertext.
+ </p>
+ <br>
+ <details>
+ <summary>
+ Attack outline.
+ </summary>
+ <p>
+ Recall that the AES-GCM ciphertext is computed as the XOR of the
+ keystream and the message. One can modify the bits of the
+ ciphertext arbitrarily to effect the same change in the decrypted
+ plaintext.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Where certain bits of the plaintext are already known, the attacker
+ can fully determine the same bits of the forged plaintext. If
+ nonces are reused, the keystream will be identical, allowing us to
+ recover plaintext via
+ <a href="https://samwho.dev/blog/toying-with-cryptography-crib-dragging/">
+ crib dragging</a>, which makes this attack particularly effective:
+ \[
+ c' = c \oplus m \oplus m'.
+ \]
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ However, we still need to compute a new MAC over the forged ciphertext.
+ Simplifying for a ciphertext \(c\) of two blocks, the GMAC MAC is computed as
+ \[
+ mac = s + (len)h + c_1h^2 + c_0h^3,
+ \]
+ where \(s\) is a constant depending on the AES-GCM key and the nonce, and \(h\)
+ is the authentication key depending only on the AES-GCM key.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If we intercept a second ciphertext \(c'\) encrypted under the same key and nonce,
+ we can compute
+ \[
+ mac + mac' = (s + s') + (len + len')h + (c_1 + c'_1)h^2 + (c_0+c'_0)h^3,
+ \]
+ Since \(s = s'\) and \(x+x=0\) in \(\mathbb{F}_{2^{128}}\), we are
+ left with the polynomial equation
+ \[
+ 0 = (mac + mac') + (len + len')h + (c_1 + c'_1)h^2 + (c_0+c'_0)h^3
+ \]
+ where all variables are known other than \(h\). Thus, recovering \(h\)
+ is a matter of finding the roots by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials_over_finite_fields">factoring the
+ polynomial</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We plug \(h\) back into the first equation to recover \(s\),
+ and finally, we can forge the MAC for arbitary ciphertext under the
+ same nonce. Note that there may be multiple possible monomial roots;
+ in this case, one can check each possibility online.

+ However, the library powering this demonstration implements <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials_over_finite_fields">polynomial factoring over finite fields</a> from scratch, which is an edifying exercise.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We present advice for those who wish to implement polynomial factorization as well:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The gcd of two polynomials is unique only up to multiplication by a non-zero constant because &ldquo;greater&rdquo; is defined for polynomials in terms of degree. When used in algorithms, gcd refers to the <em>monic</em> gcd, which is unique.</li>
+ <li>The <a href="https://math.stackexchange.com/a/943626/1084004">inverse Frobenius automorphism</a> (i.e., square root) in \(\mathbb{F}_{2^{128}}\) is given by \(\sqrt{x} = x^{2^{127}})\).</li>
