Replace crypto util with sealed object
--------------------------------------

                 Key: JBESB-2121
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-2121
             Project: JBoss ESB
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 4.4 CP1
            Reporter: Kevin Conner
            Assignee: Daniel Bevenius
             Fix For: 4.4 CP1

The crypto util classes are used to encrypt the SecurityContext but we should be able to use a SealedObject.

The util also relies on having a keystore configured but it would be sufficient to have the key(s) automatically generated on startup and use this to encrypt the session information.

Another issue with the class is that the encrypt/decrypt methods repeatedly encrypt the serialised data in chunks but the encrypt/decrypt sizes are very dependent on the block cipher in use (currently RSA).  If the configuration specifies a different cipher then this is likely to fail.  If we can move to a SealedObject then this should no longer be an issue.
