<h2>Encryption and Decryption APIs</h2>
<p>The Encryption and Decryption APIs allow you to store information or to communicate
with other parties while preventing uninvolved parties from understanding the
stored information or understanding the communication. Encryption transforms
understandable text (cleartext) into an unintelligible piece of data (ciphertext).
Decrypting restores the cleartext from the ciphertext. Both processes involve a
mathematical formula (algorithm) and secret data (key).
</p>
<p>The Encryption and Decryption APIs include:</p>
