     26  * This annotation is used to temporarily disable the InsecureCipherMode Error Prone checker while
     27  * the violation is being reviewed by ISE. A comment including a tracking bug for the ongoing
     28  * security review should accompany the annotation. If the specific use is deemed a valid exception
     29  * after review, the annotation should be changed to @SuppressInsecureCipherModeCheckerReviewed.
     30  *
     31  * <p>A {@link Cipher} object is created using one of the overloads of the
     32  * {@link Cipher#getInstance()} method. This method takes a specification of the transformer either
     33  * as a triple "Algorithm/Mode/Padding"  or just "Algorithm", using the provider's default settings.
     34  * The InsecureCipherMode checker implemented in Error Prone flags all call sites of
     35  * {@link Cipher#getInstance()}, where either the insecure ECB mode or the provider's default mode
     36  * is used. This method annotation is used to suppress the Error Prone checker in use cases where an
     37  * exception has been granted by ISE after proper review. The annotation is BUILD-visibility
     38  * restricted and every use must be vetted by the ISE team.
     39  *
     40  * <p>Example of usage:
     41  * <pre>
     42  * {@code
     43  * @SuppressInsecureCipherModeCheckerPendingReview // Tracking bug for the review: b/...
     44  * private String decrypt(String[] input) {
     45  * Cipher aesCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
     46  * aesCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(rawKeyMaterial, "AES"));
     47  * // ...
     48  * }
     49  * }
     50  * </pre>
