31 Provides interfaces for Diffie-Hellman keys as defined in
32 RSA Laboratories' PKCS #3.
33 <P>
34 Note that these interfaces are intended only
35 for key implementations whose key material
36 is accessible and available. These
37 interfaces are not intended for key
38 implementations whose key material resides
39 in inaccessible, protected storage (such as
40 in a hardware device).
41 <P>
42 For more developer information on how to use
43 these interfaces, including information on
44 how to design <code>Key</code> classes
45 for hardware devices, please refer to the
