| * 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. |
| * |
| * <h2>Package Specification</h2> |
