Nonce + Key Reuse Breaks AES-GCM

Key+Nonce reuse will break the security properties of the cipher.

#Cryptography #App Security
Using the same nonce and key twice with AES-GCM breaks its security properties in a major way: The confidentiality of the messages is not provided anymore as information on the plaintext is leaked. What is more, the internal authentication key can be derived under certain conditions which breaks the integrity protection of the cipher mode.
