# chacha20poly1305 Chacha20Poly1305 Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD) module for V Language This module provides authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD) algorithm in V Language. Its backed by experimental `x.crypto.chacha20` symmetric key stream cipher encryption module and `x.crypto.poly1305` message authentication code (MAC) module. > [!Warning] > This is an absolutely experimental module, which is subject to change. > Please use it carefully, thoroughly and wisely. ## Examples ```v import encoding.hex import x.crypto.chacha20poly1305 fn main() { // plaintext message to be encrypted and authenticated message := "Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99: If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it." .bytes() // sets your secure random key key := hex.decode('808182838485868788898a8b8c8d8e8f909192939495969798999a9b9c9d9e9f')! // give yours nonce nonce := hex.decode('070000004041424344454647')! // yours additional data aad := hex.decode('50515253c0c1c2c3c4c5c6c7')! // lets doing authenticated encryption ciphertext := chacha20poly1305.encrypt(message, key, nonce, aad)! // lets perform decryption back plaintext := chacha20poly1305.decrypt(ciphertext, key, nonce, aad)! assert plaintext == message } ```
