| Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and |
| Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) |
| keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note |
| PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature |
| Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186. |
| <P> |
| Note that these interfaces are intended only for key |
| implementations whose key material is accessible and |
| available. These interfaces are not intended for key |
| implementations whose key material resides in |
| inaccessible, protected storage (such as in a |
| hardware device). |
| <P> |
| For more developer information on how to use these |
| interfaces, including information on how to design |
| <code>Key</code> classes for hardware devices, please refer |
| to these cryptographic provider developer guides: |
