No, the AuthenticationBuilder merely assists in turning already acquired 
(cleartext) credentials into an impl of the Authentication interface.

Depends on your exact requirements. You could decrypt the passwords 
upfront in the application and pump the decrypted credentials into the 
AuthenticationBuilder. You would only need a custom Authentication impl 
if you desire to decrypt the credentials on-demand.
