                                      throws InvalidCipherTextException

Open up an encapsulation and extract the key material it contains.

Parameters:

encapsulation - the data that is carrying the secret.

offset - the offset into encapsulation that the actual encapsulation starts at.

length - the length of the encapsulation stored in the encapsulation array.

Returns:

the secret and the data representing the encapsulation.

Throws:

InvalidCipherTextException - if there is an issue opening the encapsulation.
