//! Per-hop encryption for onion routing.
//!
//! Two modes are supported:
//! 1. **XChaCha20-Poly1305** (modern, default):
//!    Shared key = Blake2b-256(DH(local_sk, remote_pk) || A || B)
//!    where A is the client pubkey and B is the server pubkey.
//!    Nonce (24 bytes) is prepended to the ciphertext.
//!
//! 2. **AES-256-GCM** (legacy):
//!    Shared key = HMAC-SHA256(salt="LOKI", DH(local_sk, remote_pk))
//!    IV (16 bytes) is prepended, followed by ciphertext, followed by 16-byte tag.
