8This package provides the classes and interfaces needed to specify keys and parameters for
9encryption and signing algorithms. The following standards are supported:
10(1) PKCS#1 RSA encryption standard;
11(2) FIPS-186 DSA (signature) standard;
12(3) PKCS#8 private key information standard.
13Keys may be specified via algorithm or in a more abstract and general way with ASN.1.
14The parameters for the Elliptic Curve (EC) encryption algorithm are only specified as
15input parameters to the relevant EC-generator.
