If you only have a single domain (e.g., storing encrypted data to a database),
you would create a CICM::Coprocessor::Encrypt (or ::Decrypt) conduit because
you want the result of the encrypt (or decrypt) operation to return to the
same client program that asks to encrypt (or decrypt) the data.

You would use the CICM::Encrypt and CICM::Decrypt channels in a more typical
high assurance scenario in which the results of the operation are not in the 
same
domain that initiates the operation.
