Encrypt

// IMPORTANT! key and nonce SHOULD generate by random
let mut key = [0u8; 32];
let mut nonce = [0; 12];

let mut encryptor = Aes256GcmStreamEncryptor::new(key.clone(), &nonce);

let mut ciphertext = vec![];
ciphertext.extend_from_slice(&encryptor.update(b"Hello "));
ciphertext.extend_from_slice(&encryptor.update(b" World"));
ciphertext.extend_from_slice(&encryptor.update(b"!"));
let (last_block, tag) = encryptor.finalize();
ciphertext.extend_from_slice(&last_block);
ciphertext.extend_from_slice(&tag);

println!("Ciphertext: {}", hex::encode(&ciphertext));
