Encrypt and decrypt an `Uint8Array` using another `Uint8Array` as password
npm install encrypt-uint8array> Encrypt and decrypt an Uint8Array using another Uint8Array as password
* Simple to use, hard to misuse
* Does not reinvent the wheel (based on themis)
* Written in TypeScript (you get autocomplete suggestions in your IDE!)
