About AES-GCM Encrypt
AES-GCM is authenticated encryption - it doesn't just hide plaintext, it also detects if the ciphertext was tampered with, which is why it's the recommended mode for new work over CBC.
Encrypt with a passphrase (key derivation via PBKDF2-SHA256) and get a JSON envelope back containing everything needed to decrypt it later, aside from the passphrase itself. Pair with AES-GCM Decrypt to reverse it.
