| 30 | Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and |
| 31 | Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) |
| 32 | keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note |
| 33 | PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature |
| 34 | Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186. |
| 35 | <P> |
| 36 | Note that these interfaces are intended only for key |
| 37 | implementations whose key material is accessible and |
| 38 | available. These interfaces are not intended for key |
| 39 | implementations whose key material resides in |
| 40 | inaccessible, protected storage (such as in a |
| 41 | hardware device). |
| 42 | <P> |
| 43 | For more developer information on how to use these |
| 44 | interfaces, including information on how to design |
| 45 | <code>Key</code> classes for hardware devices, please refer |
| 46 | to these cryptographic provider developer guides: |
