///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// The interface for hybrid encryption.
//
// Implementations of this interface are secure against adaptive
// chosen ciphertext attacks.  In addition to 'plaintext' the
// encryption takes an extra parameter 'context_info', which usually
// is public data implicit from the context, but should be bound to
// the resulting ciphertext: upon decryption the ciphertext allows for
// checking the integrity of 'context_info' (but there are no
// guarantees wrt. to secrecy or authenticity of 'context_info').
//
// WARNING: hybrid encryption does not provide authenticity, that is the
// recipient of an encrypted message does not know the identity of the sender.
// Similar to general public-key encryption schemes the security goal of
// hybrid encryption is to provide privacy only. In other words, hybrid
// encryption is secure if and only if the recipient can accept anonymous
// messages or can rely on other mechanisms to authenticate the sender.
//
// 'context_info' can be empty or null, but to ensure the correct
// decryption of the resulting ciphertext the same value must be
// provided for decryption operation (cf. HybridDecrypt-interface).
//
// A concrete instantiation of this interface can implement the
// binding of 'context_info' to the ciphertext in various ways, for
// example:
//
// - use 'context_info' as "associated data"-input for the employed
//   AEAD symmetric encryption (cf. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5116).
// - use 'context_info' as "CtxInfo"-input for HKDF (if the implementation uses
//   HKDF as key derivation function, cf. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5869).
