Use Cases
Encryption/decryption using AES-GCM.
Attempted Solutions
Currently the encrypt/decrypt functions in VRL support various AES modes such as CTR and CBC, but GCM is missing.
Proposal
The aes_gcm crate provides GCM implementation and has a similar interface to the existing AES modes. It should be a small effort to add new modes to the VRL functions and connect it with aes_gcm. I will send out a PR but keeping this discussion open for any feedback!
