/**

 * A representation of the XML <code>KeyInfo</code> element as defined in

 * the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/">

 * W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing</a>.

 * A <code>KeyInfo</code> contains a list of {@link XMLStructure}s, each of

 * which contain information that enables the recipient(s) to obtain the key

 * needed to validate an XML signature. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:

 *

 * <pre>

 * <element name="KeyInfo" type="ds:KeyInfoType"/>

 * <complexType name="KeyInfoType" mixed="true">

 *   <choice maxOccurs="unbounded">

 *     <element ref="ds:KeyName"/>

 *     <element ref="ds:KeyValue"/>

 *     <element ref="ds:RetrievalMethod"/>

 *     <element ref="ds:X509Data"/>

 *     <element ref="ds:PGPData"/>

 *     <element ref="ds:SPKIData"/>

 *     <element ref="ds:MgmtData"/>

 *     <any processContents="lax" namespace="##other"/>

 *     <!-- (1,1) elements from (0,unbounded) namespaces -->

 *   </choice>

 *   <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>

 * </complexType>

 * </pre>

 *

 * A <code>KeyInfo</code> instance may be created by invoking one of the

 * {@link KeyInfoFactory#newKeyInfo newKeyInfo} methods of the

 * {@link KeyInfoFactory} class, and passing it a list of one or more

 * <code>XMLStructure</code>s and an optional id parameter;

 * for example:

 * <pre>

 *   KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");

 *   KeyInfo keyInfo = factory.newKeyInfo

 *      (Collections.singletonList(factory.newKeyName("Alice"), "keyinfo-1"));

 * </pre>

 *

 * <p><code>KeyInfo</code> objects can also be marshalled to XML by invoking

 * the {@link #marshal marshal} method.

 *
