Although this crate aim to reduce the risk of misuse, it is still possible to use it in such a way that the cryptography it uses does not provides all the security guaranties you need. Ask your cryptographer if this crate is relevant to your use case and if you are using it correctly.

# Frequently Asked Questions
## Should I use this crate?
Although it may work, some parts are not stabilized yet. Expect breaking change that may result in the total loss of previously encrypted data.

that may result in the total loss of previously encrypted data.
## Why should I use this crate instead of a symmetric encryption function?
1. Strong algorithms only. If you don't know which one to chose, Coffio provides strong defaults.
2. Key management is hard. Coffio largely simplifies it in a way it becomes largely accessible.
