If you only have a single domain (e.g., storing encrypted data to a database), you would create a CICM::Coprocessor::Encrypt (or ::Decrypt) conduit because you want the result of the encrypt (or decrypt) operation to return to the same client program that asks to encrypt (or decrypt) the data. You would use the CICM::Encrypt and CICM::Decrypt channels in a more typical high assurance scenario in which the results of the operation are not in the same domain that initiates the operation.
