/**
* The KeyPairGenerator class is used to generate pairs of
* public and private keys. Key pair generators are constructed using the
* {@code getInstance} factory methods (static methods that
* return instances of a given class).
*
* <p>A Key pair generator for a particular algorithm creates a public/private
* key pair that can be used with this algorithm. It also associates
* algorithm-specific parameters with each of the generated keys.
*
* <p>There are two ways to generate a key pair: in an algorithm-independent
* manner, and in an algorithm-specific manner.
* The only difference between the two is the initialization of the object:
*
* <ul>
* <li><b>Algorithm-Independent Initialization</b>
* <p>All key pair generators share the concepts of a keysize and a
* source of randomness. The keysize is interpreted differently for different
* algorithms (e.g., in the case of the <i>DSA</i> algorithm, the keysize
* corresponds to the length of the modulus).
* There is an
* {@link #initialize(int,java.security.SecureRandom) initialize}
* method in this KeyPairGenerator class that takes these two universally
* shared types of arguments. There is also one that takes just a
* {@code keysize} argument, and uses the {@code SecureRandom}
* implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source
* of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation
* of {@code SecureRandom}, a system-provided source of randomness is
* used.)
*
* <p>Since no other parameters are specified when you call the above
* algorithm-independent {@code initialize} methods, it is up to the
* provider what to do about the algorithm-specific parameters (if any) to be
* associated with each of the keys.
*
* <p>If the algorithm is the <i>DSA</i> algorithm, and the keysize (modulus
* size) is 512, 768, or 1024, then the <i>Sun</i> provider uses a set of
* precomputed values for the {@code p}, {@code q}, and
* {@code g} parameters. If the modulus size is not one of the above
* values, the <i>Sun</i> provider creates a new set of parameters. Other
* providers might have precomputed parameter sets for more than just the
* three modulus sizes mentioned above. Still others might not have a list of
* precomputed parameters at all and instead always create new parameter sets.
*
* <li><b>Algorithm-Specific Initialization</b>
* <p>For situations where a set of algorithm-specific parameters already
* exists (e.g., so-called <i>community parameters</i> in DSA), there are two
* {@link #initialize(java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec)
* initialize} methods that have an {@code AlgorithmParameterSpec}
* argument. One also has a {@code SecureRandom} argument, while the
* the other uses the {@code SecureRandom}
* implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source
* of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation
* of {@code SecureRandom}, a system-provided source of randomness is
* used.)
* </ul>
*
* <p>In case the client does not explicitly initialize the KeyPairGenerator
* (via a call to an {@code initialize} method), each provider must
* supply (and document) a default initialization.
* For example, the <i>Sun</i> provider uses a default modulus size (keysize)
* of 1024 bits.
*
* <p>Note that this class is abstract and extends from
* {@code KeyPairGeneratorSpi} for historical reasons.
* Application developers should only take notice of the methods defined in
* this {@code KeyPairGenerator} class; all the methods in
* the superclass are intended for cryptographic service providers who wish to
* supply their own implementations of key pair generators.
*
* <p> Android provides the following <code>KeyPairGenerator</code> algorithms:
* <table>
* <thead>
* <tr>
* <th>Algorithm</th>
* <th>Supported API Levels</th>
* </tr>
* </thead>
* <tbody>
* <tr>
* <td>DH</td>
* <td>1+</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td>DSA</td>
* <td>1+</td>

* <tr>
* <td>EC</td>
* <td>11+</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td>RSA</td>
* <td>1+</td>
* </tr>
* </tbody>
* </table>
*
* These algorithms are described in the <a href=
* "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#KeyPairGenerator">
* KeyPairGenerator section</a> of the
* Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation.
