✨ NAME ✨

Crypt::AuthEnc β€” [internal only]. That’s the whole vibe: internal, bestie, not for direct use. 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The synopsis is giving very much β€œhands off,” no cap:

Do not use this module directly.

Use a concrete authenticated-encryption module instead, periodt. This one is internal-only, so it’s not the main character you call yourself. πŸ˜­πŸ’–
