/**
 * A {@code CipherService} uses a cryptographic algorithm called a
 * <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipher">Cipher</a> to convert an original input source using a {@code key} to
 * an uninterpretable format.  The resulting encrypted output is only able to be converted back to original form with
 * a {@code key} as well.  {@code CipherService}s can perform both encryption and decryption.
 * <h2>Cipher Basics</h2>
 * For what is known as <em>Symmetric</em> {@code Cipher}s, the {@code Key} used to encrypt the source is the same
 * as (or trivially similar to) the {@code Key} used to decrypt it.
 * <p/>
 * For <em>Asymmetric</em> {@code Cipher}s, the encryption {@code Key} is not the same as the decryption {@code Key}.
 * The most common type of Asymmetric Ciphers are based on what is called public/private key pairs:
 * <p/>
 * A <em>private</em> key is known only to a single party, and as its name implies, is supposed be kept very private
 * and secure.  A <em>public</em> key that is associated with the private key can be disseminated freely to anyone.
 * Then data encrypted by the key can only be decrypted by the private key and vice versa, but neither party
 * need share their private key with anyone else.  By not sharing a private key, you can guarantee no 3rd party can
 * intercept the key and therefore use it to decrypt a message.
 * <p/>
 * This asymmetric key technology was created as a
 * more secure alternative to symmetric ciphers that sometimes suffer from man-in-the-middle attacks since, for
 * data shared between two parties, the same Key must also be shared and may be compromised.
 * <p/>
 * Note that a symmetric cipher is perfectly fine to use if you just want to encode data in a format no one else
 * can understand and you never give away the key.  Shiro uses a symmetric cipher when creating certain
 * HTTP Cookies for example - because it is often undesirable to have user's identity stored in a plain-text cookie,
 * that identity can be converted via a symmetric cipher.  Since the the same exact Shiro application will receive
 * the cookie, it can decrypt it via the same {@code Key} and there is no potential for discovery since that Key
 * is never shared with anyone.
 * <h2>{@code CipherService}s vs JDK {@link javax.crypto.Cipher Cipher}s</h2>
 * Shiro {@code CipherService}s essentially do the same things as JDK {@link javax.crypto.Cipher Cipher}s, but in
 * simpler and easier-to-use ways for most application developers.  When thinking about encrypting and decrypting data
 * in an application, most app developers want what a {@code CipherService} provides, rather than having to manage the
 * lower-level intricacies of the JDK's {@code Cipher} API.  Here are a few reasons why most people prefer
 * {@code CipherService}s:
 * <ul>
 * <li><b>Stateless Methods</b> - {@code CipherService} method calls do not retain state between method invocations.
 * JDK {@code Cipher} instances do retain state across invocations, requiring its end-users to manage the instance
 * and its state themselves.</li>
 * <li><b>Thread Safety</b> - {@code CipherService} instances are thread-safe inherently because no state is
 * retained across method invocations.  JDK {@code Cipher} instances retain state and cannot be used by multiple
 * threads concurrently.</li>
 * <li><b>Single Operation</b> - {@code CipherService} method calls are single operation methods: encryption or
 * decryption in their entirety are done as a single method call.  This is ideal for the large majority of developer
 * needs where you have something unencrypted and just want it decrypted (or vice versa) in a single method call.  In
 * contrast, JDK {@code Cipher} instances can support encrypting/decrypting data in chunks over time (because it
 * retains state), but this often introduces API clutter and confusion for most application developers.</li>
 * <li><b>Type Safe</b> - There are {@code CipherService} implementations for different Cipher algorithms
 * ({@code AesCipherService}, {@code BlowfishCipherService}, etc).  There is only one JDK {@code Cipher} class to
 * represent all cipher algorithms/instances.
 * <li><b>Simple Construction</b> - Because {@code CipherService} instances are type-safe, instantiating and using
 * one is often as simple as calling the default constructor, for example, <code>new AesCipherService();</code>.  The
 * JDK {@code Cipher} class however requires using a procedural factory method with String arguments to indicate how
 * the instance should be created.  The String arguments themselves are somewhat cryptic and hard to
 * understand unless you're a security expert.  Shiro hides these details from you, but allows you to configure them
 * if you want.</li>
 * </ul>
