	byte[] input,
	byte[] key,
	byte[] nonce,
	byte[] aad,
	Aead.Algorithm alg
)

Public Shared Function Encrypt ( _
	<OutAttribute> ByRef tag As Byte(), _
	input As Byte(), _
	key As Byte(), _
	nonce As Byte(), _
	aad As Byte(), _
	alg As Aead.Algorithm _
) As Byte()

Parameters

tag

To receive the output authentication tag value. Currently always returned exactly 16 bytes long. This is a by-reference parameter. There is no need to initialize (but the VB compiler may complain).

input

Plain text input data (required)

key

Key of exact length for given algorithm (16 or 32 bytes)

nonce

Nonce of exact length for given algorithm (currently always 12 bytes)

aad

Additional authentication data (optional). Pass null/Nothing to ignore.
