Loosely. The majority have given up on the public understanding of nuances and just phone it in with "just don't write crypto".

Because AES-CTR and ChaCha both refer to it as a nonce, and CBC calls it an initialization vector, the IV/nonce distinction does matter. But if you misuse the terms folks will know what you meant to say. Just don't mix it up when it comes time to implement.

Please don't ever stop this behavior. I'm just learning much of this in an applicable way and people like you make this not just easier but possible for those of us learning with little outside help.

The father I go down this rabbit hole the more I learn security should be like a religion of security (only one without dogma).

Thanks.
