I think you mean it can't be proven not to have 8 bytes of enciphered information.

But anyway, you can use a hash function to generate the 8 bytes of nonce.

You can’t prove you did without revealing the nonce, and therefor the private key.

You could reveal it once the transaction is used. If anyone really doubts your 8 bytes.
