 * A {@code CipherPaddingScheme} represents well-known
 * <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padding_(cryptography)">padding schemes</a> supported by JPA providers in a
 * type-safe manner.
 * <p/>
 * When encrypted data is transferred, it is usually desirable to ensure that all 'chunks' transferred are a fixed-length:
 * different length blocks might give cryptanalysts clues about what the data might be, among other reasons.  Of course
 * not all data will convert to neat fixed-length blocks, so padding schemes are used to 'fill in' (pad) any remaining
 * space with unintelligible data.
 * <p/>
 * Padding schemes can be used in both asymmetric key ciphers as well as symmetric key ciphers (e.g. block ciphers).
 * Block-ciphers especially regularly use padding schemes as they are based on the notion of fixed-length block sizes.

     * combination, it does require the extra burden of providing your own {@code OAEPParameterSpec} object.  This is
