const encrypted = encrypt(text, encryptionKey);

const decrypted = decrypt(encrypted, encryptionKey);

console.log(decrypted.toString());
// Output: This will be encrypted

// By using a buffer
const encryptBuffer = encrypt(Buffer.from(text), encryptionKey);

const decryptBuffer = decrypt(encryptBuffer, encryptionKey);

console.log(decryptBuffer.toString());
// Output: This will be encrypted
```
