 This is a [native](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/nonce) global attribute that defines a cryptographic nonce (number used once) that can be used by Content Security Policy to determine whether or not a given fetch will be allowed to proceed for a given element.
 Providing a nonce allows you to avoid using the CSP `unsafe-inline` directive, which would allowlist *all* inline script or styles.

+::warning
+This property was available in Nuxt Image v1, but is deprecated in Nuxt Image v2.
+
+Having `nonce` be configurable introduces significant security risks as there is no guarantee the provided nonce is cryptographfically secure, generated according to the specification, and unique across the app.
+
+It's best to let battle-tested security modules like [Nuxt Security](https://nuxt.com/modules/security) handle the nonce generation.
