     26  * This annotation is used to disable the InsecureCipherMode Error Prone checker for legacy code
     27  * that didn't undergo a security review by ISE.
     28  *
     29  * <p>A {@link Cipher} object is created using one of the overloads of the
     30  * {@link Cipher#getInstance()} method. This method takes a specification of the transformer either
     31  * as a triple "Algorithm/Mode/Padding" or just "Algorithm", using the provider's default settings.
     32  * The InsecureCipherMode checker implemented in Error Prone flags all call sites of
     33  * {@link Cipher#getInstance()}, where either the insecure ECB mode or the provider's default mode
     34  * is used. This method annotation is used to suppress the Error Prone checker for legacy code
     35  * without review by ISE. The annotation is BUILD-visibility restricted and every use must be vetted
     36  * by the ISE team.
     37  *
     38  * <p>Example of usage:
     39  * <pre>
     40  * {@code
     41  * @SuppressInsecureCipherModeCheckerNoReview
     42  * private String decrypt(String[] input) {
     43  * Cipher aesCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
     44  * aesCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(rawKeyMaterial, "AES"));
     45  * // ...
     46  * }
     47  * }
     48  * </pre>
