   I see your point. But, if we do not enforce, a producer produced using 256 
bit AES key and if consumer host does not have the unlimited policy files 
installed, it will fail to decrypt. This is true for RSA/ECDSA keys as well. 
I'm considering the following change to address this:
               int aesKeyLength = 
javax.crypto.Cipher.getMaxAllowedKeyLength("AES");
               if (aesKeyLength <= 128) {
                   log.warn(
                           "{} JCE Cryptographic strength is limited to {}. 
Consider installing JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files.",
                           logCtx, aesKeyLength);
                   keyGenerator.init(aesKeyLength, secureRandom);
               } else {
                   keyGenerator.init(256, secureRandom);
               }
