/**
 * Specifies the set of parameters required by a {@link
 * javax.crypto.Cipher} using the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) mode.
 * <p>
 * Simple block cipher modes (such as CBC) generally require only an
 * initialization vector (such as {@code IvParameterSpec}),
 * but GCM needs these parameters:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code IV}: Initialization Vector (IV) 
 * <li>{@code tLen}: length (in bits) of authentication tag T
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * In addition to the parameters described here, other GCM inputs/output
 * (Additional Authenticated Data (AAD), Keys, block ciphers,
 * plain/ciphertext and authentication tags) are handled in the {@code
 * Cipher} class.
 * <p>
 * Please see <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5116.txt"> RFC 5116
 * </a> for more information on the Authenticated Encryption with
 * Associated Data (AEAD) algorithm, and <a href=
 * "http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-38D/SP-800-38D.pdf">
 * NIST Special Publication 800-38D</a>, "NIST Recommendation for Block
 * Cipher Modes of Operation:  Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) and GMAC."
 * <p>
 * The GCM specification states that {@code tLen} may only have the
 * values {128, 120, 112, 104, 96}, or {64, 32} for certain
 * applications.  Other values can be specified for this class, but not
 * all CSP implementations will support them.
