Module symmetric_encryption 

Symmetric key encryption

Low-level (“hazmat”) authenticated symmetric ciphers, exposed behind two traits:

• Aead: authenticated encryption with associated data. Implemented by AES-256-GCM (Aes256Gcm) and XChaCha20-Poly1305 (XChaCha20Poly1305).

These are dangerous primitives that operate directly on raw key material. In most cases you should use the higher-level safe module (e.g. the password-protected key envelope or data envelope) instead.
