Encryption and decryption

// Keep the key in a variable so that it can be passed to the encrypt and decrypt API.
var key;

// Generate a key.
WL.SecurityUtils.keygen({
  password: 'HelloPassword',
  salt: Math.random().toString(),
  iterations: 10000
})

.then(function (res) {

  // Update the key variable.
  key = res;

  // Encrypt text.
  return WL.SecurityUtils.encrypt({
    key: key,
    text: 'My secret text'
  });
})

.then(function (res) {

  // Append the key to the result object from encrypt.
  res.key = key;

  // Decrypt.
  return WL.SecurityUtils.decrypt(res);
})

.then(function (res) {

  // Remove the key from memory.
  key = null;

  //res => 'My secret text'
})

.fail(function (err) {
  // Handle failure in any of the previously called APIs.
});

Encode and decode base64

WL.SecurityUtils.base64Encode('Hello World!')
.then(function (res) {
  return WL.SecurityUtils.base64Decode(res);
})
.then(function (res) {
  //res => 'Hello World!'
})
.fail(function (err) {
  // Handle failure.
});

Get remote random

WL.SecurityUtils.remoteRandomString(32)
.then(function (res) {
  // res => deba58e9601d24380dce7dda85534c43f0b52c342ceb860390e15a638baecc7b
})
.fail(function (err) {
  // Handle failure.
});

Get local random

WL.SecurityUtils.localRandomString(32)
.then(function (res) {
  // res => 40617812588cf3ddc1d1ad0320a907a7b62ec0abee0cc8c0dc2de0e24392843c
})
.fail(function (err) {
