Package crypto provides functionality to scrypt a password and to AES encrypt and decrypt []bytes The following sources were used as references: https://golang.org/src/crypto/cipher/example_test.go https://proandroiddev.com/security-best-practices-symmetric-encryption-with-aes-in-java-7616beaaade9 https://www.thepolyglotdeveloper.com/2018/02/encrypt-decrypt-data-golang-application-crypto-packages/ https://github.com/elithrar/simple-scrypt To symmetrically encrypt arbitrary data using a plain password, this form may be used: crypto.EncryptGCM([]byte("data to encrypt", []byte("password123")) // to encrypt crypto.DecryptGCM(encryptedData, []byte("password123")) // to decrypt If it is desired to "hide" the password, first encrypt the password: scryptPkg, e := crypto.NewScryptPkg([]byte("password123")) and use the resulting ScryptPkg package to perform the encryption: encryptedDataRawBytes, e := scryptPkg.EncryptGCM([]byte("data to encrypt")) // raw encrypted bytes or encryptedData, e := scryptPkg.EncryptGCMBase64([]byte("data to encrypt")) // base64 encoded encrypted bytes to decrypt: decrypted, e := scryptPkg.DecryptGCM(rawEncryptedBytes) or decrypted, e := scryptPkg.EncryptGCMBase64(base64EncodedEncryptedBytes) In either case, note that the crypto package relies on some hard coded defaults that determine key strength (see crypto.GetDefaultParams()).

This is a bogus package to help with dependencies woes...
