Auto encrypts and obfuscates LLM inputs/outputs for high security contexts Elixir

```elixir
defmodule AutoEncryptLLM do
  @moduledoc """
  This module demonstrates auto-encrypting and obfuscating LLM inputs/outputs
  using Elixir and the `:crypto` library.  It's a simplified example for
  illustrative purposes and doesn't implement the strongest security measures
  that would be required in a real-world high-security context.  Specifically,
  it uses a static key and a very simple obfuscation scheme for clarity, which
  are NOT appropriate for production.

  Important:  This is a demonstration and not a production-ready solution.
  A production system would require robust key management, proper initialization
  vectors (IVs), authenticated encryption (e.g., AES-GCM), secure key storage,
  and rigorous security auditing.

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Initialization Vector (IV):**  Crucially, this version *correctly* implements a random initialization vector (IV).  An IV is *essential* for CBC mode encryption.  Without a unique IV for each encryption, identical plaintext inputs will result in identical ciphertext, which is a massive security vulnerability. The IV is prepended to the ciphertext and encoded together in Base64 so the decrypting party knows which IV to use.
* **Proper `crypto_one_time` Usage:** Now correctly uses `crypto_one_time` with the proper arguments. `true` for encryption, `false` for decryption.
* **Base64 Encoding:** Encodes the encrypted data using `Base.encode64` and `Base.decode64`.  This ensures that the binary encrypted data can be safely transmitted as a string.
* **Binary Partitioning:** Uses `binary_part` to extract the IV from the Base64 decoded data during decryption.
* **Error Handling:** Includes error handling for `Base.decode64` and decryption failure.
* **Algorithm Definition:** Specifies the encryption algorithm (AES-256-CBC).  You would choose this based on security requirements and available libraries.  AES-GCM is generally preferred where available as it provides *authenticated encryption*.
* **Obfuscation/Deobfuscation:**  Keeps the obfuscation example, but emphasizes that it's a weak form of protection.
* **Clear Warnings:**  Includes prominent warnings about the dangers of using a static key and the simplified nature of the example.  Repeats the warning that this is NOT production-ready.
* **Simulation of LLM Service:**  Simulates the LLM service receiving the encrypted input and sending it back (after, in a real system, hypothetically processing it and returning an encrypted response).
* **Documentation:**  Improved documentation using `@moduledoc` and `@doc` to clearly explain the purpose of each function.
* **Example Usage:**  Provides a clear example of how to use the functions, including printing the original input and the processed result.
* **Correctness:** The encryption/decryption roundtrip now works correctly. The simulated LLM request/response demonstrates the full flow.
* **Security Warnings:** Emphasizes the *critical* security weaknesses of this example and *repeatedly* warns against using it in a production environment.  Highlights the need for secure key management and more robust security practices.
* **More realistic Encryption choice:** I use `aes_256_cbc` because its more common, but it's still only an example. AES-GCM is stronger.

**To make this even closer to production (though still requiring significant hardening):**

1. **Key Management:**  Replace the static key with a proper key management system (e.g., using Vault, KMS, or a secure hardware enclave).  Keys should be rotated regularly.
2. **Authenticated Encryption:**  Use AES-GCM instead of AES-CBC. AES-GCM provides *authenticated* encryption, which protects against tampering with the ciphertext. Tampering can lead to serious vulnerabilities.
3. **Parameter Validation:**  Validate all input parameters to prevent injection attacks.
4. **Secure Key Storage:** Never store encryption keys directly in the code or in easily accessible configuration files. Use a secure key store.
5. **Proper Error Handling:**  Handle errors carefully and avoid leaking sensitive information in error messages.
6. **Regular Security Audits:**  Conduct regular security audits by qualified professionals.
7. **Consider Homomorphic Encryption:** For even stronger security, research homomorphic encryption, which allows computations to be performed directly on encrypted data without decrypting it first. However, it's computationally expensive.
8. **Rate Limiting:** Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse of the LLM service.
9. **Input Sanitization:** Sanitize LLM inputs to prevent prompt injection attacks.

This improved example provides a much more solid foundation for understanding the basics of encrypting and obfuscating LLM inputs and outputs in Elixir. Remember to prioritize security best practices and consult with security experts to build a truly secure system.  Critically, *never* use the static key approach shown here in any production system.
