Generation

# Nonce and Replay Protection **Nonce (number used once):** A unique, non-repeating value included in each transaction or message that prevents the same valid request from being processed multiple times. **Why it matters:** Without nonce protection, attackers can intercept legitimate transactions (like a $100 payment) and fraudulently resubmit them multiple times to drain accounts or duplicate actions. This is critical in blockchain, APIs, and authentication systems where replaying a valid signed message could have severe financial or security consequences.
