Hi, I was trying out your encryption and decryption code, but it seems the decryption is giving an error

events.js:292
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Error: incorrect header check
at Zlib.zlibOnError [as onerror] (zlib.js:182:17)
Emitted 'error' event on Unzip instance at:
at Unzip.onerror (internal/streams/readable.js:760:14)
at Unzip.emit (events.js:315:20)
at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:106:8)
at emitErrorCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:74:3)
at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:80:21) {
errno: -3,
code: 'Z_DATA_ERROR'
}

can you help on this or have an idea as to what could be the issue?
