Cómo funciona
Derivación de Clave
Su contraseña se utiliza para derivar una clave AES de 256 bits utilizando PBKDF2 con SHA-256 y 600,000 iteraciones. Esto hace que los ataques de fuerza bruta sean computacionalmente costosos.
Valores Aleatorios
Se generan una sal aleatoria de 128 bits y un IV (Vector de Inicialización) de 96 bits utilizando generación de números aleatorios criptográficamente seguros para cada cifrado.
Cifrado AES-256-GCM
Los datos se cifran utilizando AES-256-GCM (Modo Galois/Contador), que proporciona tanto confidencialidad como verificación de autenticidad.
Formato de Salida
La salida está formateada como v1:salt:iv:ciphertext donde todos los componentes están codificados en base64.

Salida Esperada
Original: Hello World Cifrado: v1:aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoP...:qRsTuVwXyZ...:encrypted_data... Descifrado: Hello World
Nota: La salida cifrada será diferente cada vez debido a la generación aleatoria de sal e IV, pero el descifrado siempre devolverá el mensaje original.
