/**
 * {@code CipherService} using the {@code AES} cipher algorithm for all encryption, decryption, and key operations.
 * <p/>
 * The AES algorithm can support key sizes of {@code 128}, {@code 192} and {@code 256} bits<b>*</b>.  This implementation
 * defaults to 128 bits.
 * <p/>
 * Note that this class retains changes the parent class's default {@link OperationMode#CBC CBC} mode to {@link OperationMode#GCM GCM} of operation
 * instead of the typical JDK default of {@link OperationMode#ECB ECB}.  {@code ECB} should not be used in
 * security-sensitive environments because {@code ECB} does not allow for initialization vectors, which are
 * considered necessary for strong encryption.  See the {@link DefaultBlockCipherService parent class}'s JavaDoc and the
 * {@link JcaCipherService JcaCipherService} JavaDoc for more on why the JDK default should not be used and is not
 * used in this implementation.
 * <p/>
 * <b>*</b> Generating and using AES key sizes greater than 128 require installation of the
 * <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength
 * Jurisdiction Policy files</a>.
