/**
 * 
 * Common interface for all Encryptors which receive a 
 * BigInteger (arbitrary precision) message and return a BigInteger result.
 * 
 * 
 * Important: The size of the result of encrypting a number, depending
 * on the algorithm, may be much bigger (in bytes) than the size of the 
 * encrypted number itself. For example, encrypting a 4-byte integer can
 * result in an encrypted 16-byte number. This can lead the user into 
 * problems if the encrypted values are to be stored and not enough room 
 * has been provided.

 * @since 1.2
