→Encryption & Decryption
=Encryption & Decryption=
The encryption and decryption functions currently underlie several limitations:
#Cryptographic algorithms are limited to <code>symmetric</code> algorithms only. This means that the same secret key is used for encryption and decryption.
#Available algorithms are <code>DES</code> and <code>AES</code>.
#The result of an encryption using the same message, algorithm and key looks different each time it is executed. This is due to a random initialization vector which is appended to the message and simply increases security.
#Padding is statically limited to PKCS5
