About AES-CBC Encrypt
AES-CBC is the older sibling of AES-GCM - still solid encryption, but without built-in tamper detection, and mainly relevant today for interoperating with systems that were built before GCM became standard.
Encrypt with a passphrase and get a JSON envelope with salt, IV, and ciphertext. For new projects with no legacy constraint, prefer AES-GCM instead.
