Hello all,

I was beginning to port this PR:
https://github.com/apache/shiro/pull/36

It is quite straightforward. I just got a single API question.

I found that the decrypt method doesn't throw the cryptoException anymore.

There are multiple ways to fix this:

1. Go ahead and document the new behaviour.
Custom implementations of cipher might break or need adjustment.

2. Try to decrypt and wipe immediately. This will throw the exception as
early as before, but now the cipher text is decrypted twice.

3. Drop the PR because of the breaking change. Maybe wiping deciphered text
is not that important anymore?

4. Release as shiro 2.x

I do not agree with both breaking changes and not wiping the array. Sonce
most users do not implement custom ciphers, I'd go for option 1.
