/**
 * A Key Agreement algorithm provides for the derivation of a shared secret key
 * based on a shared secret computed from certain types of compatible public
 * keys from both the sender and the recipient. Information from the originator
 * to determine the secret is indicated by an optional OriginatorKeyInfo
 * parameter child of an <code>AgreementMethod</code> element while that
 * associated with the recipient is indicated by an optional RecipientKeyInfo. A
 * shared key is derived from this shared secret by a method determined by the
 * Key Agreement algorithm.
 * <p>
 * <b>Note:</b> XML Encryption does not provide an on-line key agreement
 * negotiation protocol. The <code>AgreementMethod</code> element can be used by
 * the originator to identify the keys and computational procedure that were
 * used to obtain a shared encryption key. The method used to obtain or select
 * the keys or algorithm used for the agreement computation is beyond the scope
 * of this specification.
 * <p>
 * The <code>AgreementMethod</code> element appears as the content of a
 * <code>ds:KeyInfo</code> since, like other <code>ds:KeyInfo</code> children,
 * it yields a key. This <code>ds:KeyInfo</code> is in turn a child of an
 * <code>EncryptedData</code> or <code>EncryptedKey</code> element. The
 * Algorithm attribute and KeySize child of the <code>EncryptionMethod</code>
 * element under this <code>EncryptedData</code> or <code>EncryptedKey</code>
 * element are implicit parameters to the key agreement computation. In cases
 * where this <code>EncryptionMethod</code> algorithm <code>URI</code> is
 * insufficient to determine the key length, a KeySize MUST have been included.
 * In addition, the sender may place a KA-Nonce element under
 * <code>AgreementMethod</code> to assure that different keying material is
 * generated even for repeated agreements using the same sender and recipient
 * public keys.
 * <p>
 * If the agreed key is being used to wrap a key, then
 * <code>AgreementMethod</code> would appear inside a <code>ds:KeyInfo</code>
 * inside an <code>EncryptedKey</code> element.
 * <p>
 * The Schema for AgreementMethod is as follows:
 * <xmp>
 * <element name="AgreementMethod" type="xenc:AgreementMethodType"/>
 * <complexType name="AgreementMethodType" mixed="true">
 *     <sequence>
 *         <element name="KA-Nonce" minOccurs="0" type="base64Binary"/>
 *         <!-- <element ref="ds:DigestMethod" minOccurs="0"/> -->
 *         <any namespace="##other" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
 *         <element name="OriginatorKeyInfo" minOccurs="0" type="ds:KeyInfoType"/>
 *         <element name="RecipientKeyInfo" minOccurs="0" type="ds:KeyInfoType"/>
 *     </sequence>
 *     <attribute name="Algorithm" type="anyURI" use="required"/>
 * </complexType>
 * </xmp>
