EncryptionProperties can hold additional information concerning
the generation of the EncryptedData or
EncryptedKey. This information is wraped int an
EncryptionProperty element. Examples of additional information
is e.g., a date/time stamp or the serial number of cryptographic hardware
used during encryption).

It is defined as follows:

<element name='EncryptionProperties' type='xenc:EncryptionPropertiesType'/>
<complexType name='EncryptionPropertiesType'>
    <sequence>
        <element ref='xenc:EncryptionProperty' maxOccurs='unbounded'/>
    </sequence>
    <attribute name='Id' type='ID' use='optional'/>
</complexType>
