/**
* Provides classes and interfaces for key specifications and algorithm
* parameter specifications.
* <p>A key specification is a transparent representation of the key material
* that constitutes a key. A key may be specified in an algorithm-specific
* way, or in an algorithm-independent encoding format (such as ASN.1).
* This package contains key specifications for DSA public and private keys,
* RSA public and private keys, PKCS #8 private keys in DER-encoded format,
* and X.509 public and private keys in DER-encoded format.
* <p>An algorithm parameter specification is a transparent representation
* of the sets of parameters used with an algorithm. This package contains
* an algorithm parameter specification for parameters used with the
* DSA algorithm.
