> The available _Cipher_(s) and their respective _NamedFactory_(ies) are exposed via an _Enum_ - including the _isSupported_ method. This has significant advantages:
> * A central location where all the currently available ciphers are listed - so that programmers don't need to browse the code.
> * Facilitate configuration by code - e.g., read some list of ciphers, and then easily translate it from string names to their factories counterparts.
> * (D)on't-(R)epeat-(Y)ourself - any new cipher is automatically available for programmers without any code change (assuming they are using the _Enum_). No need to manually update the code if upgrading to a new version - it will automatically be made available via the _Enum_
