Description: 
Hey everyone,

I've got a question concerning the aesEncrypt method within 
org.apache.deltaspike.core.impl.crypto.DefaultCipherService.aesEncrypt.

This method employs a custom key derivation function:
{code:java}
private SecretKeySpec getSecretKeySpec(String password)
{
byte[] pwdHash = secureHash(password);
byte[] key = Arrays.copyOf(pwdHash, 16); // using only the first 128 bits
// Note: utilizing 128-bit AES avoids the necessity for the "Unlimited Crypto" 
patch
return new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
}
{code}
Here, the function hashes the provided password once to serve as the encryption 
key, without utilizing a standard pbkdf api.
{code:java}
protected byte[] secureHash(String value)
{
try
{
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance(HASH_ALGORITHM);
return md.digest(value.getBytes(UTF_8));
}
catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
{code}
However, employing such a low iteration count might not suffice for 
contemporary encryption standards. For instance, RFC 8018 suggests a minimum of 
1000 iterations for PBE[1]. In 2023, OWASP recommended employing 600,000 
iterations for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 and 210,000 for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512[2]. 

How about utilizing a standard PBKDF with a higher iteration count instead?
Or we can simply use multi-round hash in the secureHash method for better 
security

For instance:
{code:java}
private SecretKeySpec getSecretKeySpec(String password, String salt)
{
int iterationCount = 1; // Recommended: at least 10,000 iterations
int keyLength = 128; // utilizing 128-bit AES
KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(password.toCharArray(), salt.getBytes(), 
iterationCount, keyLength);
SecretKeyFactory factory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256");
byte[] key = factory.generateSecret(spec).getEncoded();
// Note: utilizing 128-bit AES avoids the necessity for the "Unlimited Crypto" 
patch
return new SecretKeySpec(key, "AES");
}

Here, the function hashes the provided password once to serve as the encryption
