      From a security perspective, we need to guarantee that a KEK has not been used 2^32-1 times to perform encryption. This follows a security guideline outlined by section 8.3 of [NIST GCM recommendations|section 8.3 of https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-38d.pdf].

      This will likely have to be persisted in the keystore itself.
