Detailed Description

This file is part of the CernVM File System

Symmetric encryption/decryption of small pieces of text. Plain text and cipher text are stored in std::string. Uses cbc mode, there is no inherent integrity check. The cipher text should only be used in a data structure that is itself protected by a digital signature, HMAC, or similar.

The initialization vector is transferred together with the cipher text. It is constructed from the HMAC of the key and nonce.
