package org.jasypt.encryption;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
Common interface for all Encryptors which receive a
BigDecimal (arbitrary precision) message and return a BigDecimal 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.
