/**
* This annotation is used to disable the InsecureCipherMode Error Prone checker after a proper
* review by ISE. A comment including a tracking bug for the security review should accompany the
* annotation.
*
* <p>A {@link Cipher} object is created using one of the overloads of the
* {@link Cipher#getInstance()} method. This method takes a specification of the transformer either
* as a triple "Algorithm/Mode/Padding" or just "Algorithm", using the provider's default settings.
* The InsecureCipherMode checker implemented in Error Prone flags all call sites of
* {@link Cipher#getInstance()}, where either the insecure ECB mode or the provider's default mode
* is used. This method annotation is used to suppress the Error Prone checker in use cases where an
* exception has been granted by ISE after proper review. The annotation is BUILD-visibility
* restricted and every use must be vetted by the ISE team.
*
* <p>Example of usage:
* <pre>
* {@code
* @SuppressInsecureCipherModeCheckerReviewed // Tracking bug for the review: b/...
* private String decrypt(String[] input) {
* Cipher aesCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
* aesCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(rawKeyMaterial, "AES"));
* // ...
* }
* }
* </pre>
