1//! AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption for snapshot blocks.
2//!
3//! This module provides block-level encryption for Hexz snapshots using the AES-256-GCM
4//! (Galois/Counter Mode) authenticated encryption algorithm. It implements the `Encryptor`
5//! trait to provide transparent encryption and decryption of individual snapshot blocks with
6//! cryptographic authentication to detect tampering or corruption.
7//!
8//! # Algorithm Overview
9//!
10//! **AES-256-GCM** is a widely-adopted AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data)
11//! cipher that provides both confidentiality and integrity protection:
12//!
13//! - **Cipher**: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with 256-bit keys
14//! - **Mode**: GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) for authenticated encryption
15//! - **Authentication**: 128-bit authentication tag appended to ciphertext
16//! - **Key Derivation**: PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 for password-based key derivation
17//! - **Nonce Strategy**: Deterministic 96-bit nonces derived from block indices
18//!
19//! # Security Properties and Guarantees
20//!
21//! ## Confidentiality
22//!
23//! AES-256 provides strong confidentiality guarantees under the assumption that the key
24//! remains secret. With a 256-bit keyspace, brute-force attacks are computationally
25//! infeasible with current and foreseeable technology (estimated 2^256 operations required).
26//!
27//! ## Integrity and Authentication
28//!
29//! The GCM authentication tag ensures that:
30//! - **Tampering Detection**: Any modification to ciphertext or nonce is detected with
31//!   probability 1 - 2^-128 (effectively certain for 128-bit tags)
32//! - **No Silent Corruption**: Authentication failures abort decryption rather than
33//!   returning corrupted plaintext
34//! - **Block Binding**: Each block is bound to its index, preventing block reordering or
35//!   duplication attacks
36//!
37//! ## Key Derivation Security
38//!
39//! PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 provides password-based key derivation with the following properties:
40//! - **Salt**: 128-bit random salt prevents rainbow table attacks and ensures key uniqueness
41//! - **Iterations**: Default 600,000 iterations (per OWASP 2023 recommendations) slows
42//!   brute-force attacks to ~500ms per guess on modern CPUs
43//! - **Determinism**: Same (password, salt, iterations) triple always produces the same key,
44//!   enabling snapshot decryption without storing the key
45//!
46//! # Performance Characteristics
47//!
48//! ## Throughput
49//!
50//! On modern x86-64 CPUs with AES-NI hardware acceleration:
51//! - **Encryption**: ~3-5 GB/s per core for large blocks (>64 KiB)
52//! - **Decryption**: ~3-5 GB/s per core (symmetric with encryption)
53//! - **Key Derivation**: ~500 ms for 600,000 PBKDF2 iterations (one-time cost per snapshot)
54//!
55//! ## Overhead
56//!
57//! - **Ciphertext Expansion**: +16 bytes per block (128-bit authentication tag)
58//! - **Computational Cost**: ~10-20% CPU overhead vs. unencrypted compression on fast storage
59//! - **Memory**: Negligible (single AES context, ~240 bytes)
60//!
61//! ## Interaction with Compression
62//!
63//! Encryption is applied **after** compression in the write pipeline:
64//! ```text
65//! Plaintext → Compress → Encrypt → Write
66//! Read → Decrypt → Decompress → Plaintext
67//! ```
68//!
69//! This ordering is critical because:
70//! - Ciphertext has high entropy and is incompressible
71//! - Compressing first maximizes space savings
72//! - Authentication tag covers compressed data, detecting compression-layer corruption
73//!
74//! ## Deduplication Interaction
75//!
76//! **Encryption disables block-level deduplication** because:
77//! - Each block uses a unique nonce (derived from block index)
78//! - Identical plaintext blocks produce different ciphertexts
79//! - This is a fundamental security requirement (nonce reuse would break GCM security)
80//!
81//! # When to Use Encryption
82//!
83//! ## Use Encryption When:
84//!
85//! - **Storing snapshots on untrusted media** (cloud storage, external drives, backups)
86//! - **Regulatory/compliance requirements** mandate encryption at rest (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
87//! - **Protecting sensitive VM data** (databases, application secrets, user data)
88//! - **Multi-tenant environments** where snapshots may be accessible to untrusted parties
89//!
90//! ## Do NOT Use Encryption When:
91//!
92//! - **Performance is critical** and data is already protected (local encrypted filesystems)
93//! - **Deduplication is essential** and data is not sensitive (compression-only provides
94//!   better space efficiency)
95//! - **Key management is impractical** (no secure way to store/transmit passwords)
96//! - **Data is already encrypted** at the application layer (double encryption adds overhead
97//!   without security benefit)
98//!
99//! # Cryptographic Details
100//!
101//! ## Nonce/IV Generation Strategy
102//!
103//! GCM security critically depends on **never reusing a (key, nonce) pair**. This implementation
104//! uses deterministic nonce generation based on block indices:
105//!
106//! ```text
107//! Nonce (96 bits / 12 bytes):
108//! ┌──────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
109//! │  Reserved    │      Block Index (u64)     │
110//! │  (32 bits)   │      (64 bits, big-endian) │
111//! └──────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
112//! Bytes: 0-3 (zeros)  4-11 (block_idx)
113//! ```
114//!
115//! **Uniqueness Guarantee**: Each block in a snapshot has a unique index (0 to 2^64-1), ensuring
116//! unique nonces under a given key. The 32-bit reserved field allows future extensions (e.g.,
117//! snapshot versioning) while maintaining backward compatibility.
118//!
119//! **Determinism**: The same block index always produces the same nonce, enabling stateless
120//! decryption without storing nonces in metadata.
121//!
122//! ## Key Derivation and Expansion
123//!
124//! ```text
125//! Password (arbitrary bytes)
126//!     │
127//!     ├─→ PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256(password, salt, iterations=600,000)
128//!     │
129//!     └─→ 256-bit Derived Key
130//!             │
131//!             └─→ AES-256-GCM Key Schedule (14 rounds, 15 subkeys)
132//! ```
133//!
134//! The derived key is expanded into AES round keys using the AES key schedule algorithm.
135//! This expansion happens once during `AesGcmEncryptor::new()` and the expanded keys are
136//! stored in the cipher context for reuse.
137//!
138//! ## Authentication Tag Handling
139//!
140//! GCM produces a 128-bit (16-byte) authentication tag that is **appended** to the ciphertext:
141//!
142//! ```text
143//! Ciphertext Layout:
144//! ┌─────────────────────────┬──────────────────┐
145//! │  Encrypted Data         │  Auth Tag (128b) │
146//! │  (same length as input) │  (16 bytes)      │
147//! └─────────────────────────┴──────────────────┘
148//! ```
149//!
150//! During decryption, the tag is:
151//! 1. Separated from the ciphertext
152//! 2. Recomputed from the ciphertext and nonce
153//! 3. Compared in constant time to prevent timing attacks
154//! 4. Decryption aborts if tags do not match
155//!
156//! ## Block Cipher Mode Specifics
157//!
158//! GCM combines CTR (Counter) mode encryption with GHASH-based authentication:
159//!
160//! - **CTR Mode**: Converts AES into a stream cipher, allowing parallel encryption/decryption
161//! - **GHASH**: Polynomial hash over GF(2^128) for authentication
162//! - **Parallelism**: Encryption/decryption can process blocks in parallel (hardware dependent)
163//! - **Nonce Sensitivity**: Reusing a nonce with the same key catastrophically breaks security
164//!   (allows key recovery and forgery)
165//!
166//! ## Thread Safety of Cryptographic Operations
167//!
168//! The `AesGcmEncryptor` struct is **thread-safe** and implements `Send + Sync`:
169//!
170//! - **Immutable Cipher State**: The AES key schedule is initialized once and never modified
171//! - **No Internal Mutation**: Encryption/decryption are pure functions of inputs (no RNG, no state)
172//! - **Deterministic Nonces**: Derived from block indices, not random generation
173//! - **Shared Encryptor**: A single `AesGcmEncryptor` can be safely shared across threads
174//!   via `Arc<AesGcmEncryptor>` for concurrent block encryption
175//!
176//! # Security Considerations
177//!
178//! ## Key Management Best Practices
179//!
180//! - **Password Strength**: Use high-entropy passwords (>128 bits, e.g., 20+ random characters)
181//!   or key files to resist brute-force attacks
182//! - **Password Storage**: Never store passwords in plaintext; use secure key management systems
183//!   (hardware tokens, password managers, environment variables with restricted access)
184//! - **Salt Storage**: Salt is stored in the snapshot header and must be preserved; losing the
185//!   salt makes decryption impossible even with the correct password
186//! - **Key Rotation**: Re-encrypting snapshots with new keys requires full rewrite (no in-place
187//!   key rotation)
188//!
189//! ## Nonce Reuse Dangers and Mitigation
190//!
191//! **CRITICAL**: Reusing a (key, nonce) pair in GCM is catastrophic:
192//! - Allows attackers to recover the authentication key
193//! - Enables forgery of arbitrary ciphertexts
194//! - Leaks plaintext XOR for messages encrypted with the same nonce
195//!
196//! **Mitigation**: Block-index-based nonces ensure uniqueness as long as:
197//! - Each block index is used at most once per snapshot
198//! - The same snapshot is never encrypted with the same key but different data
199//!   (snapshots are immutable after creation)
200//!
201//! ## Performance Impact of Encryption
202//!
203//! - **Throughput**: 10-20% reduction in read/write speeds on fast NVMe storage
204//! - **Latency**: Negligible for large blocks (>16 KiB); ~1-2 µs overhead for small blocks
205//! - **Key Derivation**: One-time ~500ms cost when opening encrypted snapshots
206//! - **CPU Utilization**: Encryption is CPU-bound; benefits from AES-NI hardware acceleration
207//!
208//! ## Limitations and Attack Surfaces
209//!
210//! ### Known Limitations
211//!
212//! - **No Forward Secrecy**: Compromising the password allows decryption of all historical data
213//! - **Metadata Leakage**: Snapshot size, block count, and compression ratios are not encrypted
214//! - **Side Channels**: Implementation does not protect against cache-timing or power analysis
215//!   attacks (assumes trusted execution environment)
216//! - **Block Index Limit**: Maximum 2^64 blocks per snapshot (impractical limitation: ~1 ZB at
217//!   64 KiB blocks)
218//!
219//! ### Attack Surfaces
220//!
221//! - **Weak Passwords**: Low-entropy passwords can be brute-forced despite PBKDF2
222//! - **Key Derivation Parameters**: Reducing PBKDF2 iterations weakens brute-force resistance
223//! - **Memory Dumps**: Key material is held in process memory and could be extracted by
224//!   privileged attackers
225//! - **Filesystem Metadata**: Block offsets and sizes leak access patterns
226//!
227//! ## Compliance Considerations
228//!
229//! ### Standards Compliance
230//!
231//! - **NIST SP 800-38D**: AES-GCM implementation follows NIST recommendations for GCM mode
232//! - **NIST SP 800-132**: PBKDF2 parameters meet NIST password-based key derivation guidelines
233//! - **FIPS 140-2/3**: Underlying AES and SHA-256 algorithms are FIPS-approved (implementation
234//!   is not FIPS-certified but uses FIPS-approved primitives from `aes-gcm` and `sha2` crates)
235//!
236//! ### Regulatory Considerations
237//!
238//! - **GDPR**: Encryption at rest satisfies "state of the art" technical measures for personal
239//!   data protection (Article 32)
240//! - **HIPAA**: Qualifies as "encryption as specified in the HIPAA Security Rule" for ePHI
241//! - **PCI-DSS**: Meets Requirement 3.4 for encryption of cardholder data at rest
242//!
243//! **NOTE**: Compliance also requires proper key management, access controls, and audit logging
244//! beyond what this module provides.
245//!
246//! # Integration Details
247//!
248//! ## Block Index Constraints and Alignment
249//!
250//! - **Index Range**: Block indices must be in `0..=u64::MAX-1` (u64::MAX may be reserved for
251//!   sentinel values in the snapshot format)
252//! - **Uniqueness**: Each index must correspond to a unique logical block position
253//! - **No Alignment**: Block indices need not be contiguous or sequential; sparse indices are
254//!   supported
255//! - **Encryption/Decryption Symmetry**: The same `block_idx` used for encryption must be
256//!   passed to decryption
257//!
258//! ## Encryption and Compression Interaction
259//!
260//! Encryption integrates into the snapshot write pipeline as:
261//!
262//! ```text
263//! write_block(chunk, compressor, encryptor):
264//!   1. compressed = compressor.compress(chunk)      # Compress first
265//!   2. encrypted = encryptor.encrypt(compressed, idx)  # Then encrypt
266//!   3. write(encrypted)
267//! ```
268//!
269//! And the read pipeline as:
270//!
271//! ```text
272//! read_block(idx, encryptor, compressor):
273//!   1. encrypted = read_from_storage(idx)
274//!   2. compressed = encryptor.decrypt(encrypted, idx)  # Decrypt first
275//!   3. plaintext = compressor.decompress(compressed)   # Then decompress
276//! ```
277//!
278//! **Critical**: Decryption failure (wrong key, corrupted data, wrong index) aborts the read
279//! and returns an error; no partial or corrupted data is passed to decompression.
280//!
281//! ## Memory Overhead
282//!
283//! - **AesGcmEncryptor**: ~240 bytes (AES-256-GCM cipher context with expanded key schedule)
284//! - **Per-Operation**: Temporary allocation for ciphertext (plaintext.len() + 16 bytes)
285//! - **No Buffering**: Encryption/decryption are stateless single-pass operations
286//!
287//! ## I/O Patterns
288//!
289//! Encryption does not change I/O patterns but affects sizes:
290//! - **Encrypted Block Size**: `compressed_size + 16` (fixed 16-byte tag overhead)
291//! - **Random Access**: Encryption is block-independent; random reads do not require decrypting
292//!   other blocks
293//! - **Parallel I/O**: Multiple blocks can be encrypted/decrypted concurrently (thread-safe)
294//!
295//! # Examples
296//!
297//! ## Basic Encryption/Decryption Workflow
298//!
299//! ```rust
300//! use hexz_core::algo::encryption::{Encryptor, AesGcmEncryptor};
301//!
302//! # fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
303//! // Derive key from password and salt (stored in snapshot header)
304//! let password = b"correct_horse_battery_staple";
305//! let salt = b"random_16byte_sa";  // 16 bytes, cryptographically random
306//! let iterations = 100_000;
307//!
308//! let encryptor = AesGcmEncryptor::new(password, salt, iterations)?;
309//!
310//! // Encrypt a block (e.g., compressed data from block 42)
311//! let plaintext = b"Compressed block data...";
312//! let block_idx = 42;
313//! let ciphertext = encryptor.encrypt(plaintext, block_idx)?;
314//!
315//! // Ciphertext is 16 bytes longer (authentication tag)
316//! assert_eq!(ciphertext.len(), plaintext.len() + 16);
317//!
318//! // Decrypt the block (same index required)
319//! let decrypted = encryptor.decrypt(&ciphertext, block_idx)?;
320//! assert_eq!(decrypted, plaintext);
321//! # Ok(())
322//! # }
323//! ```
324//!
325//! ## Secure Snapshot Encryption
326//!
327//! ```rust
328//! use hexz_core::algo::encryption::{Encryptor, AesGcmEncryptor};
329//! use rand::RngCore;
330//!
331//! # fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
332//! // Generate cryptographically random salt
333//! let mut salt = [0u8; 16];
334//! rand::thread_rng().fill_bytes(&mut salt);
335//!
336//! // Get password from secure source (environment, prompt, key file)
337//! let password = std::env::var("HEXZ_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD")
338//!     .expect("HEXZ_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD not set")
339//!     .into_bytes();
340//!
341//! // Create encryptor with strong parameters
342//! let encryptor = AesGcmEncryptor::new(&password, &salt, 100_000)?;
343//!
344//! // Encrypt multiple blocks
345//! let blocks = vec![b"block0", b"block1", b"block2"];
346//! let mut encrypted_blocks = Vec::new();
347//!
348//! for (idx, block) in blocks.iter().enumerate() {
349//!     let ciphertext = encryptor.encrypt(*block, idx as u64)?;
350//!     encrypted_blocks.push(ciphertext);
351//! }
352//!
353//! // Store salt in snapshot header for later decryption
354//! // (salt is not secret, but must be preserved exactly)
355//! # Ok(())
356//! # }
357//! ```
358//!
359//! ## Handling Decryption Failures
360//!
361//! ```rust
362//! use hexz_core::algo::encryption::{Encryptor, AesGcmEncryptor};
363//!
364//! # fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
365//! let encryptor = AesGcmEncryptor::new(b"password", b"salt12345678salt", 100_000)?;
366//! let plaintext = b"Important data";
367//! let ciphertext = encryptor.encrypt(plaintext, 0)?;
368//!
369//! // Wrong password -> decryption fails
370//! let wrong_encryptor = AesGcmEncryptor::new(b"wrong_password", b"salt12345678salt", 100_000)?;
371//! match wrong_encryptor.decrypt(&ciphertext, 0) {
372//!     Ok(_) => panic!("Should have failed with wrong password"),
373//!     Err(e) => println!("Authentication failed (expected): {}", e),
374//! }
375//!
376//! // Wrong block index -> decryption fails
377//! match encryptor.decrypt(&ciphertext, 999) {
378//!     Ok(_) => panic!("Should have failed with wrong index"),
379//!     Err(e) => println!("Authentication failed (expected): {}", e),
380//! }
381//!
382//! // Corrupted ciphertext -> decryption fails
383//! let mut corrupted = ciphertext.clone();
384//! corrupted[5] ^= 0xFF;  // Flip bits
385//! match encryptor.decrypt(&corrupted, 0) {
386//!     Ok(_) => panic!("Should have detected corruption"),
387//!     Err(e) => println!("Authentication failed (expected): {}", e),
388//! }
389//! # Ok(())
390//! # }
391//! ```
392//!
393//! ## Thread-Safe Concurrent Encryption
394//!
395//! ```rust
396//! use hexz_core::algo::encryption::{Encryptor, AesGcmEncryptor};
397//! use std::sync::Arc;
398//! use std::thread;
399//!
400//! # fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
401//! // Create encryptor and share across threads
402//! let encryptor = Arc::new(AesGcmEncryptor::new(b"password", b"salt12345678salt", 100_000)?);
403//!
404//! let mut handles = Vec::new();
405//! for idx in 0..10 {
406//!     let enc = Arc::clone(&encryptor);
407//!     let handle = thread::spawn(move || {
408//!         let data = format!("Block {}", idx).into_bytes();
409//!         enc.encrypt(&data, idx as u64).unwrap()
410//!     });
411//!     handles.push(handle);
412//! }
413//!
414//! // Collect encrypted blocks
415//! let encrypted: Vec<_> = handles.into_iter()
416//!     .map(|h| h.join().unwrap())
417//!     .collect();
418//! # Ok(())
419//! # }
420//! ```

434/// AES-256-GCM encryptor with PBKDF2-derived keys for block-level authenticated encryption.
435///
436/// This struct wraps an AES-256-GCM cipher instance with a key derived from a password using
437/// PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256. It provides stateless, thread-safe encryption and decryption of
438/// snapshot blocks using deterministic nonces based on block indices.
439///
440/// # Structure
441///
442/// The encryptor holds:
443/// - **Expanded AES Key Schedule**: 14 rounds of 128-bit subkeys derived from the 256-bit key
444/// - **GCM Precomputed Tables**: Multiplication tables for GHASH authentication (hardware
445///   dependent; may use PCLMULQDQ on x86-64)
446///
447/// Total memory footprint: ~240 bytes
448///
449/// # Thread Safety
450///
451/// `AesGcmEncryptor` is **fully thread-safe** (`Send + Sync`) because:
452/// - The cipher state is immutable after construction
453/// - Encryption/decryption use deterministic nonces (no RNG or shared mutable state)
454/// - The underlying `aes_gcm` crate guarantees thread-safe operations
455///
456/// A single encryptor instance can be safely shared across threads via `Arc<AesGcmEncryptor>`
457/// for concurrent block encryption without locking.
458///
459/// # Security Notes
460///
461/// - **Key Material in Memory**: The expanded AES key schedule remains in process memory for
462///   the lifetime of this struct. It is **not** zeroed on drop (Rust does not guarantee
463///   secure memory wiping). Processes with access to memory dumps (debuggers, swap, core dumps)
464///   can potentially extract keys.
465/// - **No Key Rotation**: Keys are fixed at construction; re-keying requires creating a new
466///   `AesGcmEncryptor` instance.
467/// - **Immutable After Creation**: The cipher cannot be reconfigured; all blocks must use the
468///   same key material.
469///
470/// # Implementation Details
471///
472/// Internally uses the `aes-gcm` crate (RustCrypto), which provides:
473/// - **Hardware Acceleration**: AES-NI and PCLMULQDQ instructions on x86-64 (if available)
474/// - **Constant-Time Operations**: Timing-attack resistant implementation (subject to CPU
475///   microarchitecture side channels)
476/// - **NIST Compliance**: Follows NIST SP 800-38D recommendations for GCM mode
477///
478/// # Examples
479///
480/// ## Creating an Encryptor
481///
482/// ```rust
483/// use hexz_core::algo::encryption::AesGcmEncryptor;
484///
485/// // Derive key from password and salt
486/// let password = b"strong_random_password_here";
487/// let salt = b"16_byte_salt____";  // Exactly 16 bytes
488/// let iterations = 100_000;
489///
490/// let encryptor = AesGcmEncryptor::new(password, salt, iterations)?;
491/// // Encryptor is now ready for encrypting/decrypting blocks
492/// # Ok::<(), hexz_common::Error>(())
493/// ```
494///
495/// ## Sharing Across Threads
496///
497/// ```rust
498/// use hexz_core::algo::encryption::{Encryptor, AesGcmEncryptor};
499/// use std::sync::Arc;
500/// use std::thread;

608    ///
609    /// # Parameters
610    ///
611    /// - `password`: Arbitrary-length byte slice containing the password or key material.
612    ///   **Security**: Use high-entropy passwords (≥128 bits, ~20 random characters) to resist
613    ///   brute-force attacks. Weak passwords undermine the security of PBKDF2.
614    ///
615    /// - `salt`: Byte slice containing the cryptographic salt (recommended: 16 bytes / 128 bits).
616    ///   **Critical**: The salt must be:
617    ///   - Randomly generated using a CSPRNG (e.g., `rand::thread_rng()`)
618    ///   - Stored in the snapshot header for later decryption
619    ///   - Unique per snapshot (prevents rainbow table attacks and key reuse)
620    ///     The salt is **not secret** but must be preserved exactly; losing it makes decryption
621    ///     impossible even with the correct password.
622    ///
623    /// - `iterations`: Number of PBKDF2 iterations (recommended: 600,000 per OWASP 2023).
624    ///   **Tradeoff**: Higher iterations increase brute-force resistance but slow key derivation:
625    ///   - 100,000 iterations: ~100ms, weak against GPU attacks
626    ///   - 600,000 iterations: ~500ms, current recommended minimum

640    /// - **Memory Allocation**: Temporary 32-byte stack buffer for the derived key (zeroed
641    ///   after key expansion, though Rust does not guarantee secure wiping).
642    /// - **Subsequent Operations**: After construction, encryption/decryption are fast

646    ///
647    /// ## Determinism
648    ///
649    /// PBKDF2 is deterministic: the same `(password, salt, iterations)` always produces the
650    /// same key. This is intentional and required for decrypting snapshots, but means:
651    /// - Key material is reproducible from the password (password compromise = key compromise)
652    /// - No forward secrecy: old snapshots remain decryptable if password is disclosed
653    ///
654    /// ## Parameter Storage
655    ///
656    /// The snapshot header must store:
657    /// - `salt`: Required for key derivation (not secret, but must be exact)
658    /// - `iterations`: Required for key derivation (not secret)
659    /// - Password: **NEVER** stored; must be provided by user on decryption
660    ///
661    /// ## Weak Parameters
662    ///
663    /// - **Low iterations** (<100,000): Vulnerable to brute-force on GPUs/ASICs
664    /// - **Weak password** (dictionary words, short, low entropy): Negates PBKDF2 protection
665    /// - **Reused salt**: Allows rainbow table attacks across snapshots
666    ///
667    /// # Panics
668    ///
669    /// This function does **not** panic under normal circumstances. The internal PBKDF2

818    /// ## Security Requirements
819    ///
820    /// GCM security critically depends on **never reusing a (key, nonce) pair**. This

828    /// - Recover the GCM authentication key (GHASH subkey)
829    /// - Forge arbitrary authenticated ciphertexts
830    /// - Compute plaintext XOR for the two messages
831    ///
832    /// ## Why Big-Endian?
833    ///
834    /// Big-endian encoding is used for:
835    /// - **Standard compliance**: NIST SP 800-38D recommends big-endian for counter fields
836    /// - **Lexicographic ordering**: Nonces sort in the same order as block indices
837    /// - **Interoperability**: Big-endian is the standard network byte order
838    ///
839    /// # Implementation Notes
840    ///
841    /// - **Pure Function**: This function has no side effects and does not modify the cipher
842    ///   state. It can be called concurrently from multiple threads.
843    /// - **Zero Allocation**: Constructs the nonce on the stack; no heap allocations.

845    ///   is not critical for nonce generation (nonces are not secret).
