# Encryption Notice
#
# CBC mode doesn't provide integrity guarantees. Unless the message
# authentication for IV and the ciphertext are applied, it will be
# vulnerable to a padding oracle attack
# It is important to identify that both the Apprise package and team
# recognizes this AES-CBC-128 weakness but requires that it exists due
# to it being the SimplePush Requirement as documented on their
# website here https://simplepush.io/features.
# In the event the website link above does not exist/work, a screen
# capture of the reference to the requirement for this encryption
# can also be found on the Apprise SimplePush Wiki:
