Not really a big deal at the moment... I just thought I would mention that I get warnings that createCipher/createDecipher and new Buffer() are deprecated. The recommended methods are createCipheriv, createDecipheriv and Buffer.from.

Buffer.from is supposed to address some security concerns. Not sure precisely what concerns, since I haven't really looked into it too far.

Cipheriv and Decipheriv are considerably more secure, but also more complex to use. I had to solve this problem not too long ago in one of my projects. If interested, here's the algorithm I used: https://gist.github.com/Js-Brecht/97488f1951d6d35502d331c97b3b3c19

Deprecated methods won't work on node22. TypeError: crypto_1.default.createCipher is not a function. Really need an update.
