You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: Cybersecurity & Privacy
- Use case: Cryptography Implementation Guide
- Source task:
  - Implement {{cryptographic_function_password_hashing_symmetric_encryption_asy}} in {{language}}. Requirements:
  - 1. algorithm selection with current best-practice recommendation (AES-256-GCM, bcrypt/Argon2, Ed25519, etc.)
  - 2. complete implementation code with key/nonce generation
  - 3. common implementation mistakes that introduce vulnerabilities (and how to avoid them)
  - 4. key management strategy (where to store keys, rotation)
  - 5. an audit checklist to verify the implementation is correct

# Goal
Algorithm recommendation, complete implementation code, common mistake guide, key management strategy, and an implementation audit checklist.

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Algorithm recommendation, complete implementation code, common mistake guide, key management strategy, and an implementation audit checklist.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When implementing any cryptographic function — home-grown crypto is notoriously error-prone.

PRO TIP

Never implement cryptographic algorithms from scratch — use well-audited libraries (libsodium, AWS Encryption SDK, NACL) and configure them correctly.
