* wrap sdk callsite in try/catch to handle error appropriately
`encryptService.decryptString()` calls code in the internal SDK which when provided an invalid

in order to intercept the error and return false so that logic in parse() may return
a more appropriate error message in the UI.
* add unit test and explanatory comment
