/*
* Using public-key authenticated encryption, Bob can encrypt a
* confidential message specifically for Alice, using Alice's public
* key.
*
* Using Bob's public key, Alice can verify that the encrypted
* message was actually created by Bob and was not tampered with,
* before eventually decrypting it.
*
* Alice only needs Bob's public key, the nonce and the ciphertext.
* Bob should never ever share his secret key, even with Alice.
*
* And in order to send messages to Alice, Bob only needs Alice's
* public key. Alice should never ever share her secret key either,
* even with Bob.
*
* Alice can reply to Bob using the same system, without having to
* generate a distinct key pair.
*
* The nonce doesn't have to be confidential, but it should be used
* with just one invokation of crypto_box_open_easy() for a
* particular pair of public and secret keys.
*
* One easy way to generate a nonce is to use randombytes_buf(),
* considering the size of nonces the risk of any random collisions
* is negligible. For some applications, if you wish to use nonces to
* detect missing messages or to ignore replayed messages, it is also
* ok to use a simple incrementing counter as a nonce.
*
* When doing so you must ensure that the same value can never be
* re-used (for example you may have multiple threads or even hosts
* generating messages using the same key pairs).
*
* This system provides mutual authentication. However, a typical use
* case is to secure communications between a server, whose public
* key is known in advance, and clients connecting anonymously.
