/* This "module" provides functions analogous to tox_load and tox_save in toxcore,
 * as well as functions for encryption of arbitrary client data (e.g. chat logs).
 *
 * It is conceptually organized into two parts. The first part are the functions
 * with "key" in the name. To use these functions, first derive an encryption key
 * from a password with tox_derive_key_from_pass, and use the returned key to
 * encrypt the data. The second part takes the password itself instead of the key,
 * and then delegates to the first part to derive the key before de/encryption,
 * which can simplify client code; however, key derivation is very expensive
 * compared to the actual encryption, so clients that do a lot of encryption should
 * favor using the first part intead of the second part.
 *
 * The encrypted data is prepended with a magic number, to aid validity checking
 * (no guarantees are made of course).
 *
 * Clients should consider alerting their users that, unlike plain data, if even one bit
 * becomes corrupted, the data will be entirely unrecoverable.
 * Ditto if they forget their password, there is no way to recover the data.
