Idiom #307 XOR encrypt/decrypt string

Create a function that XOR encrypts/decrypts a string

sub xor_crypt {
    my ($b, $k) = @_;
    return $b ^ $k;
}

Perl's bitwise operator ^ will xor strings.
fn xor(s: Vec<u8>, key: &[u8]) -> Vec<u8> {
    let mut b = key.iter().cycle();
    s.into_iter().map(|x| x ^ b.next().unwrap()).collect()
}

use into_bytes() for converting String to Vec<u8> and str::from_utf8() for converting Vec<u8> to String
sysutils
encrypted := xorstring(key, original);
