Hello,

I wanted to confirm if BC dependencies are strictly necessary for
decrypting documents with standard security.

I'm testing PDFBox 3.0.0-RC1 on android and to my surprise I was able to
decrypt a password protected document without including BC dependencies.

I looked a little bit at the code of StandardSecurityHandler and
PublicKeySecurityHandler and noticed that the former has no direct
reference to BC classes, but I'm not sure if StandardSecurityHandler might
still use BC indirectly in some cases.

I double checked transitive dependencies and for sure I'm not including BC,
so the question is, should I? For now I don't need public key encryption.

Thanks!
Jose
