<a name="44" href="#44">44</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * This asymmetric key technology was created as a</em>
<a name="45" href="#45">45</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * more secure alternative to symmetric ciphers that sometimes suffer from man-in-the-middle attacks since, for</em>

<a name="47" href="#47">47</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;p/&gt;</em>
<a name="48" href="#48">48</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * Note that a symmetric cipher is perfectly fine to use if you just want to encode data in a format no one else</em>

<a name="51" href="#51">51</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * that identity can be converted via a symmetric cipher. Since the the same exact Shiro application will receive</em>
<a name="52" href="#52">52</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * the cookie, it can decrypt it via the same {@code Key} and there is no potential for discovery since that Key</em>

<a name="56" href="#56">56</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * simpler and easier-to-use ways for most application developers. When thinking about encrypting and decrypting data</em>
<a name="57" href="#57">57</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * in an application, most app developers want what a {@code CipherService} provides, rather than having to manage the</em>

<a name="60" href="#60">60</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;ul&gt;</em>
<a name="61" href="#61">61</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stateless Methods&lt;/b&gt; - {@code CipherService} method calls do not retain state between method invocations.</em>
<a name="62" href="#62">62</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * JDK {@code Cipher} instances do retain state across invocations, requiring its end-users to manage the instance</em>
<a name="63" href="#63">63</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * and its state themselves.&lt;/li&gt;</em>
<a name="64" href="#64">64</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thread Safety&lt;/b&gt; - {@code CipherService} instances are thread-safe inherently because no state is</em>
<a name="65" href="#65">65</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * retained across method invocations. JDK {@code Cipher} instances retain state and cannot be used by multiple</em>
<a name="66" href="#66">66</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * threads concurrently.&lt;/li&gt;</em>
<a name="67" href="#67">67</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Single Operation&lt;/b&gt; - {@code CipherService} method calls are single operation methods: encryption or</em>

<a name="69" href="#69">69</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * needs where you have something unencrypted and just want it decrypted (or vice versa) in a single method call. In</em>
<a name="70" href="#70">70</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * contrast, JDK {@code Cipher} instances can support encrypting/decrypting data in chunks over time (because it</em>
<a name="71" href="#71">71</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * retains state), but this often introduces API clutter and confusion for most application developers.&lt;/li&gt;</em>
<a name="72" href="#72">72</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Type Safe&lt;/b&gt; - There are {@code CipherService} implementations for different Cipher algorithms</em>
<a name="73" href="#73">73</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * ({@code AesCipherService}, {@code BlowfishCipherService}, etc). There is only one JDK {@code Cipher} class to</em>

<a name="75" href="#75">75</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Simple Construction&lt;/b&gt; - Because {@code CipherService} instances are type-safe, instantiating and using</em>
<a name="76" href="#76">76</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * one is often as simple as calling the default constructor, for example, &lt;code&gt;new AesCipherService();&lt;/code&gt;. The</em>
