This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with the different encryption libraries, so I'll have to do some quick research to figure out which one is the most appropriate for this use case. Hopefully, I can find a clear answer before the exam ends.

Okay, let's see here. We need to encrypt the secrets before sending them to the GitHub API. I'm leaning towards BouncyCastle since it's a robust and flexible cryptography library, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we need to wrap the secrets before sending them, but I'm not sure which encryption library would be the best choice. I'll have to think this through carefully.
