/**
 * Provides a comprehensive set of classes for AES encryption and decryption,
 * password-based key derivation, and secure content handling.
 *
 * <p>
 * This package contains the core AES cryptographic components:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link AesCommon} — common AES utilities and base class for encryptors
 * and decryptors</li>
 * <li>{@link AesEncryptor} and {@link AesDecryptor} — stream-based AES
 * encryption and decryption handlers</li>
 * <li>{@link PasswordBasedAesEncryptor} and {@link PasswordBasedAesDecryptor} —
 * AES implementations using password-derived keys (via PBKDF2)</li>
 * <li>{@link SecretRandom} — abstract base class for secure byte sequence
 * generators</li>
 * <li>{@link SecretAesRandom} — deterministic AES-based implementation of
 * {@code SecretRandom}</li>
 * <li>{@link SecretDerivedAesParameters} — encapsulates derived AES keys and
 * IVs with contextual integrity checks</li>
 * <li>{@link SecretMultiRecipientCryptor} — supports encrypting data for
 * multiple recipients using independent key derivation paths</li>
 * <li>{@link SecretPassword} — immutable password container designed for secure
 * handling and comparison</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * The package also offers plain content wrappers for handling unencrypted data
 * sources:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link PlainBytes} — wraps raw byte arrays as content sources</li>
 * <li>{@link PlainString} — wraps UTF-8 strings as content sources</li>
 * <li>{@link PlainFile} — treats file-based or URL-based content as input
 * sources</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * This package is designed around streaming APIs and centralized context-based
 * cryptographic parameter management using the shared {@link conflux.Ctx}
 * object. It facilitates secure encryption workflows with support for dynamic
 * derivation, deterministic streams, and multi-party encryption use cases.
 * </p>
