/**
 * <code>CipherReference</code> identifies a source which, when processed,
 * yields the encrypted octet sequence.
 * <p>
 * The actual value is obtained as follows. The <code>CipherReference URI</code>
 * contains an identifier that is dereferenced. Should the
 * <code>CipherReference</code> element contain an OPTIONAL sequence of
 * Transforms, the data resulting from dereferencing the <code>URI</code> is
 * transformed as specified so as to yield the intended cipher value. For
 * example, if the value is base64 encoded within an XML document; the
 * transforms could specify an XPath expression followed by a base64 decoding so
 * as to extract the octets.
 * <p>
 * The syntax of the <code>URI</code> and Transforms is similar to that of
 * [XML-DSIG]. However, there is a difference between signature and encryption
 * processing. In [XML-DSIG] both generation and validation processing start
 * with the same source data and perform that transform in the same order. In
 * encryption, the decryptor has only the cipher data and the specified
 * transforms are enumerated for the decryptor, in the order necessary to obtain
 * the octets. Consequently, because it has different semantics Transforms is in
 * the &xenc; namespace.
 * <p>
 * The schema definition is as follows:
 * <xmp>
 * <element name='CipherReference' type='xenc:CipherReferenceType'/>
 * <complexType name='CipherReferenceType'>
 *     <sequence>
 *         <element name='Transforms' type='xenc:TransformsType' minOccurs='0'/>
 *     </sequence>
 *     <attribute name='URI' type='anyURI' use='required'/>
 * </complexType>
 * </xmp>
