Christian Schneider commented on KARAF-5316:
--------------------------------------------

I will leave the current public methods of EncryptionSupport as deprecated so current modules outside of karaf still work.

> Currently the EncryptionSupport is difficult to use. Each module needs to check the presence of EncryptionSupport and an Encryption module and also check the prefixes and suffixes.
> I propose to have one method exposed by the EncryptionSupport:
> String encrypt(String plain)
> This method checks if plain is already encrypted and encrypts with the selected Encryption. It also handles the !enabled or no suitable EncryptionSupport case.
> Besides that I propose a public static EncryptionSupport noEncryptionSupport() that can be called instead of setting the encryptionSupport=null in modules. This allows to leave out null checks.
