/**
 * Padding is the interface defined by JavaSoft's JCE to be implemented
 * by classes that provide a general-purpose padding scheme. It is not
 * used in IJCE, for several reasons:
 * <ul>
 *   <li> Interfaces are more difficult to extend with new functionality
 *        than abstract classes (for an abstract class, new methods can
 *        be given default implementations that are defined in terms of
 *        existing methods).
 *        <p>
 *   <li> An abstract class can enforce that SPI methods are called
 *        with valid arguments; an interface cannot.
 *        <p>
 *   <li> The Padding interface does not support arbitrary block sizes. Each
 *        padding scheme must be defined for a specific block size.
 *        <p>
 *   <li> The documentation for Padding was not clear enough to re-implement
 *        accurately.
 *        <p>
 *   <li> The Security.getImpl method in JavaSoft's implementation of
 *        JCE does not work correctly for interfaces.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * This interface is included in IJCE only so that classes that use it
 * will not fail with an unrecoverable linking error. The abstract class
 * PaddingScheme should be used instead.
