The SecretBox class boxes and unboxes messages
This class uses the given secret key to encrypt and decrypt messages.
It is VITALLY important that the nonce is a nonce, i.e. it is a number used only once for any given pair of keys. If you fail to do this, you compromise the privacy of the messages encrypted. Give your nonces a different prefix, or have one side use an odd counter and one an even counter. Just make sure they are different.
The ciphertexts generated by this class include a 16-byte authenticator which is checked as part of the decryption. An invalid authenticator will cause the unbox function to raise. The authenticator is not a signature. Once you've looked in the box, you've demonstrated the ability to create arbitrary valid messages, so messages you send are repudiable. For non-repudiable messages, sign them before or after encryption.

Encrypts a message
Encrypts the message with the given nonce to the key set up when initializing the class. Make sure the nonce is unique for any given key, or you might as well just send plain text.
This function takes care of the padding required by the NaCL C API.
