/**

 * 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} classes for hardware devices, please refer

 * to these cryptographic provider developer guides:
