AES encryption example for Node.js
/**
* Created by Awesometic
* references: https://gist.github.com/ericchen/3081970
* This source is updated example code of above source code.
* I added it two functions that are make random IV and make random 256 bit key.
* It's encrypt returns Base64 encoded cipher, and also decrpyt for Base64 encoded Cipher
