func New(key []byte) (cipher.AEAD, error)
New returns a ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD that uses the given 256-bit key.
func NewX(key []byte) (cipher.AEAD, error)
NewX returns a XChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD that uses the given 256-bit key.
XChaCha20-Poly1305 is a ChaCha20-Poly1305 variant that takes a longer nonce, suitable to be generated randomly without risk of collisions. It should be preferred when nonce uniqueness cannot be trivially ensured, or whenever nonces are randomly generated.
