Detailed Documentation​

Encrypt​

  • Purpose: Encrypts the given text using the provided key.
  • Parameters:
    • key ([]byte): The encryption key.
    • text ([]byte): The text to be encrypted.
  • Returns:
    • []byte: The encrypted ciphertext.
    • error: An error if encryption fails.

Decrypt​

  • Purpose: Decrypts the given ciphertext using the provided key.
  • Parameters:
    • key ([]byte): The decryption key.
    • text ([]byte): The ciphertext to be decrypted.
  • Returns:
    • []byte: The decrypted plaintext.
    • error: An error if decryption fails.

Code Examples​

// Example of encrypting data
const key = []byte("passphrasewith32chars!");
const plaintext = []byte("sensitive data");
const ciphertext, err = Encrypt(key, plaintext);

// Example of decrypting data
const key = []byte("passphrasewith32chars!");
const plaintext, err = Decrypt(key, ciphertext);
