Why not use AES-256-GCM

Arlen22 opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

I'm just curious, as I'm investigating the possibility of using this library, or at least this idea. Why not just use AES-256-GCM instead of using two separate keys and two separate functions?

Probably because it wasn't available at the time this was originally created. I don't now much about it either.
