sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt

Here's a quick example on how to use sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt(); where you have 1 key to encrypt and decrypt.

<?php

$key = sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_keygen();

//--------------------------------------------------
// Encrypting

$message = 'hello';

$nonce = random_bytes(SODIUM_CRYPTO_AEAD_CHACHA20POLY1305_IETF_NPUBBYTES);

$encrypted = sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt($message, $nonce, $nonce, $key);

echo base64_encode($encrypted) . "\n";

//--------------------------------------------------
// Decrypting

$decrypted = sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_decrypt($encrypted, $nonce, $nonce, $key);

echo $decrypted . "\n";

?>

And just to confirm, the $nonce is used twice - the first time it's in the authentication tag ($ad):
