This helper method is only applicable for Base64 wrapped
encryption since it operated on string -> string primarily.
It wouldn't be used for pure CFB/GCM ciphers. After a messagePack
session refactor, this method would further only be used for
legacy session compatibility - making its placement in cipher.go
not ideal.
Have it take in a cipher init function as an argument.
Remove the confusing `newCipher` method that matched legacy behavior
and returns a Base64Cipher(CFBCipher) -- instead explicitly ask for
that in the uses.
During the upcoming encoded session refactor, AES GCM is ideal
to use as the Redis (and other DB like stores) encryption wrapper
around the session because each session is encrypted with a
distinct secret that is passed by the session ticket.
All Encrypt/Decrypt Cipher implementations will now take
and return []byte to set up usage in future binary compatible
encoding schemes to fix issues with bloat encrypting to strings
(which requires base64ing adding 33% size)
* Refactor the utils package to other areas
Move cookieSession functions to cookie session store
& align the double implementation of SecretBytes to be
united and housed under encryption
* Remove unused Provider SessionFromCookie/CookieForSession
These implementations aren't used, these are handled in the cookie store.
* Add changelog entry for session/utils refactor
