- Method Detail
  - decrypt
```
byte[] decrypt(byte[] encrypted,
               char[] password)
        throws GeneralSecurityException
```
    Decrypts encrypted bytes, using the given password as decryption key.
    The encrypted data must contain enough information about the encryption algorithm used so that it can be decrypted at all.
    
    If the password is wrong, the method may return wrongly decrypted data. If decryption fails, it may return null or throw a GeneralSecurityException.
    
    The caller is responsible for eventually clearing the password and the decrypted data returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    encrypted - data to decrypt
    
    password - decryption key
    
    Returns:
    
    decrypted data, possibly null if decryption failed
    
    Throws:
    
    GeneralSecurityException - may be thrown if decryption failed
