+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:
