  26 /**
  27  * Provides classes and interfaces for key specifications and algorithm
  28  * parameter specifications.
  29  *
  30  * <p>A key specification is a transparent representation of the key material
  31  * that constitutes a key. A key may be specified in an algorithm-specific
  32  * way, or in an algorithm-independent encoding format (such as ASN.1).
  33  * This package contains key specifications for DSA public and private keys,
  34  * RSA public and private keys, PKCS #8 private keys in DER-encoded format,
  35  * and X.509 public and private keys in DER-encoded format.
  36  *
  37  * <p>An algorithm parameter specification is a transparent representation
  38  * of the sets of parameters used with an algorithm. This package contains
  39  * an algorithm parameter specification for parameters used with the
  40  * DSA algorithm.
  41  *
