     25 /**
     26  * This annotation is used to disable the InsecureCipherMode Error Prone checker after a proper
     27  * review by ISE. A comment including a tracking bug for the security review should accompany the
     28  * annotation.
     29  *
     30  * <p>A {@link Cipher} object is created using one of the overloads of the
     31  * {@link Cipher#getInstance()} method. This method takes a specification of the transformer either
     32  * as a triple "Algorithm/Mode/Padding"  or just "Algorithm", using the provider's default settings.
     33  * The InsecureCipherMode checker implemented in Error Prone flags all call sites of
     34  * {@link Cipher#getInstance()}, where either the insecure ECB mode or the provider's default mode
     35  * is used. This method annotation is used to suppress the Error Prone checker in use cases where an
     36  * exception has been granted by ISE after proper review. The annotation is BUILD-visibility
     37  * restricted and every use must be vetted by the ISE team.
     38  *
     39  * <p>Example of usage:
     40  * <pre>
     41  * {@code
     42  * @SuppressInsecureCipherModeCheckerReviewed // Tracking bug for the review: b/...
     43  * private String decrypt(String[] input) {
     44  * Cipher aesCipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
     45  * aesCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(rawKeyMaterial, "AES"));
     46  * // ...
     47  * }
     48  * }
     49  * </pre>
