## Examples

#### Encrypt and decrypt with ChaCha20-Poly1305

```js
import { xchacha20poly1305 } from '@noble/ciphers/chacha';
import { bytesToHex, hexToBytes, bytesToUtf8, utf8ToBytes } from '@noble/ciphers/utils';
const key = hexToBytes('4b7f89bac90a1086fef73f5da2cbe93b2fae9dfbf7678ae1f3e75fd118ddf999');
const nonce = hexToBytes('9610467513de0bbd7c4cc2c3c64069f1802086fbd3232b13');
const chacha = xchacha20poly1305(key, nonce);
const data = utf8ToBytes('hello, noble');
const ciphertext = chacha.encrypt(data);
const data_ = chacha.decrypt(ciphertext); // bytesToUtf8(data_) === data
```

#### Encrypt and decrypt text with AES-GCM-256

```js
import { gcm } from '@noble/ciphers/aes';
import { bytesToHex, hexToBytes, bytesToUtf8, utf8ToBytes } from '@noble/ciphers/utils';
const key = hexToBytes('5296fb2c5ceab0f59367994e5d81d9014027255f12336fabcd29596c2e9ecd87');
const nonce = hexToBytes('9610467513de0bbd7c4cc2c3c64069f1802086fbd3232b13');
const aes = gcm(key, nonce);
const data = utf8ToBytes('hello, noble');
const ciphertext = aes.encrypt(data);
const data_ = aes.decrypt(ciphertext); // bytesToUtf8(data_) === data
```

#### Use managed nonce

```js
import { xchacha20poly1305 } from '@noble/ciphers/chacha';
import { managedNonce } from '@noble/ciphers/webcrypto/utils'
import { bytesToHex, hexToBytes, utf8ToBytes } from '@noble/ciphers/utils';
const key = hexToBytes('fa686bfdffd3758f6377abbc23bf3d9bdc1a0dda4a6e7f8dbdd579fa1ff6d7e1');
const chacha = managedNonce(xchacha20poly1305)(key); // manages nonces for you
const data = utf8ToBytes('hello, noble');
const ciphertext = chacha.encrypt(data);
const data_ = chacha.decrypt(ciphertext);
```

#### Securely generate random key and nonce

```js
import { xchacha20poly1305 } from '@noble/ciphers/chacha';
import { randomBytes } from '@noble/ciphers/webcrypto/utils';
const rkey = randomBytes(32);
const rnonce = randomBytes(24);
const chacha = xchacha20poly1305(rkey, rnonce);
const data = utf8ToBytes('hello, noble');
const ciphertext = chacha.encrypt(data);
const plaintext = chacha.decrypt(ciphertext);
```

AES ([wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard))
is a variant of Rijndael block cipher, standardized by NIST.

We don't implement AES in pure JS for now: instead, we wrap WebCrypto built-in
and provide an improved, simple API. There is a reason for this:
webcrypto API is terrible: different block modes require different params.
We provide the fastest available pure JS implementation of AES.

Optional [AES-GCM-SIV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES-GCM-SIV)
synthetic initialization vector nonce-misuse-resistant mode is also provided.
nonce-misuse-resistant mode is also provided.

Check out [AES internals and block modes](#aes-internals-and-block-modes).

### Webcrypto AES

```js
// Wrapper over built-in webcrypto. Same API, but async
import { gcm, ctr, cbc } from '@noble/ciphers/webcrypto/aes';
for (let cipher of [gcm, siv, ctr, cbc]) {
const stream = cipher(key, nonce);
const ciphertext_ = await stream.encrypt(plaintext);
const plaintext_ = await stream.decrypt(ciphertext_);
}
```

We also have separate wrapper over asynchronous WebCrypto built-in.

It's the same as using `crypto.subtle`, but with massively simplified API.

### Managed nonces

```js
import { managedNonce } from '@noble/ciphers/webcrypto/utils';
import { gcm, siv, ctr, cbc, ecb } from '@noble/ciphers/aes';
import { xsalsa20poly1305 } from '@noble/ciphers/salsa';
import { chacha20poly1305, xchacha20poly1305 } from '@noble/ciphers/chacha';

const wgcm = managedNonce(gcm);
const wsiv = managedNonce(siv);
const wcbc = managedNonce(cbc);
const wctr = managedNonce(ctr);
const wsalsapoly = managedNonce(xsalsa20poly1305);
const wchacha = managedNonce(chacha20poly1305);
const wxchacha = managedNonce(xchacha20poly1305);

// Now:
const encrypted = wgcm(key).encrypt(data); // no nonces
```

We provide API that manages nonce internally instead of exposing them to library's user.

For `encrypt`, a `nonceBytes`-length buffer is fetched from CSPRNG and prenended to encrypted ciphertext.

For `decrypt`, first `nonceBytes` of ciphertext are treated as nonce.

### FF1
