1//! # Symmetric key encryption
2//!
3//! Low-level ("hazmat") authenticated symmetric ciphers, exposed behind two traits:
4//! - [`Aead`]: authenticated encryption *with* associated data. Implemented by AES-256-GCM
5//!   ([`Aes256Gcm`]), XAES-256-GCM ([`XAes256Gcm`]), and XChaCha20-Poly1305
6//!   ([`XChaCha20Poly1305`]).
7//!
8//! These are dangerous primitives that operate directly on raw key material. In most cases you
9//! should use the higher-level [`safe`](crate::safe) module (e.g. the password-protected key
10//! envelope or data envelope) instead.
