In KeystoreWrapper class we determine if the error to decrypt a
given keystore is caused by a wrong password based on the exception
that the SunJCE implementation of AES is
throwing(AEADBadTagException). Other implementations from other
Security Providers fail with a different exception and as such we
cannot differentiate between a corrupted file and a wrong password
in a foolproof way.
As in other tests such as in
KeyStoreWrapperTests#testDecryptKeyStoreWithWrongPassword
we handle this by matching both possible exception messages.
