Adding methods to NSData and NSString using categories to provide AES256 encryption on iOS

Important notice

I took down this Gist due to concerns about the security of the encryption/decryption part of this code (see comments below).

Rob Napier (@rnapier) has created a publicly available class that provides similar AES encryption/decryption functionality at https://github.com/rnapier/RNCryptor.

See the discussion here: RNCryptor/RNCryptor#22. RNCryptor is currently designed to be iOS5 only. I'm considering whether to modify that.
