Cryptography used by vanishing.page. Works in browsers and node.
This is generally useful as a dead simple way of working with symmetric keys in a browser or node.
Thanks to Fission, the original author for much of this code.

import {

} from '@bicycle-codes/simple-aes/compat'Generate a new AES key and encrypt the given message object.
Return an array of [ encryptedMessage, { key }],
where key is a new AES key, encoded as base64url.

console.log(encryptedMessage)
// => { content: '5eAcA6+jnBfbuCx8L...' }Decrypt the given message with the given key. Suitable for decrypting a message that was encrypted by this library. Key is an AES key, base64url encoded.
