(Java) Encrypt File using X.509 Certificate using AES in CBC Mode

Demonstrates how to encrypt a file using an X.509 Certificate's public key, where the underlying bulk encryption algorithm is 128-bit AES in CBC mode. (The underlying bulk encryption algorithm can be specified to be other algorithms/strengths.)

    //  This example simply loads a certificate from a file.
    //  Also, for encryption, only the public key is needed.  Digital certificates embed the public key
    //  within the X.509 format itself.  Therefore, if you have a certificate, you also have the public key.

    //  There's one last option that could be set.  If is the RSA encryption encryption/padding scheme.
    //  By default, RSAES_PKCS1-V1_5 is used.  If desired, the OaepPadding property could be set to true to
    //  use RSAES_OAEP.  (We'll leave it set at the default value of false)
