/**
 * 
 * Algorithm that is able to combine two inputs into one and vice versa split one input back to two originals.
 * These functions are reversible, so splitting combined text must result in original text again.
 * In formula:
 * 
 * split(combine([input1, input2])) == [input1, input2]
 * 
 * Typical usage is for combining initialization vector and cipher text during encryption and splitting back
 * during decryption.
