/**
* Provides AES-GCM encryption and decryption services for HPDS data at rest.
*
* <h2>Overview</h2>
* This class implements authenticated encryption using AES-256 in GCM (Galois/Counter Mode)
* with a 128-bit authentication tag. It is primarily used to encrypt concept data stored
* in the HPDS LoadingStore cache, protecting sensitive patient observations.
*
* <h2>Wire Format</h2>
* Encrypted data follows this structure:
* <pre>
* [ivLength:4 bytes][iv:12-32 bytes][ciphertext + authTag]
* </pre>
*
* <h2>Memory Optimization</h2>
* This implementation uses a single-allocation strategy where {@link javax.crypto.Cipher#doFinal(byte[], int, int, byte[], int)}
* writes directly to a pre-allocated output buffer, avoiding intermediate ciphertext allocation.
* This provides ~33% peak memory reduction for large payloads.
*
* <h2>Size Limitations</h2>
* Encryption will fail for concepts with serialized size approaching ~2GB due to Java array constraints
* (max index: {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE}). Natural exceptions ({@link NegativeArraySizeException},
* {@link OutOfMemoryError}) will occur during buffer allocation. See HARD_LIMIT_ANALYSIS.md for
* mitigation strategies if concepts approach this limit.
*
* <h2>Thread Safety</h2>
* This class is thread-safe. Key management methods are synchronized, and encryption/decryption
* operations use thread-local Cipher instances.
*
* <h2>Example Usage</h2>
* <pre>
* // Load encryption key
* Crypto.loadDefaultKey();
*
* // Encrypt concept data
* byte[] serializedConcept = ... // Java serialized concept data
* byte[] encrypted = Crypto.encryptData(serializedConcept);
*
* // Store encrypted data...
*
* // Later: decrypt concept data
* byte[] decrypted = Crypto.decryptData(encrypted);
* </pre>
*
* @since 3.0.0
