> The CryptoCipher.ENCRYPT_MODE and DECRYPT_MODE constants don't seem to serve any purpose.
> They should be dropped and the javax.crypto.Cipher constants used instead.
> Alternatively, replace them with an enum, which would allow the compiler to check the values.
> Note: the values currently have to be checked by both JceCipher and OpensslCipher. Since JceCipher uses the Cipher constant that check would disappear if the CryptoCipher constant were dropped.
