| 32 | Provides classes and interfaces for key specifications and algorithm |
| 33 | parameter specifications. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | <p>A key specification is a transparent representation of the key material |
| 36 | that constitutes a key. A key may be specified in an algorithm-specific |
| 37 | way, or in an algorithm-independent encoding format (such as ASN.1). |
| 38 | This package contains key specifications for DSA public and private keys, |
| 39 | RSA public and private keys, PKCS #8 private keys in DER-encoded format, |
| 40 | and X.509 public and private keys in DER-encoded format. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | <p>An algorithm parameter specification is a transparent representation |
| 43 | of the sets of parameters used with an algorithm. This package contains |
| 44 | an algorithm parameter specification for parameters used with the |
| 45 | DSA algorithm. |
