31Provides interfaces for Diffie-Hellman keys as defined in
32RSA Laboratories' PKCS #3.
33<P>
34Note that these interfaces are intended only
35for key implementations whose key material
36is accessible and available. These
37interfaces are not intended for key
38implementations whose key material resides
39in inaccessible, protected storage (such as
40in a hardware device).
41<P>
42For more developer information on how to use
43these interfaces, including information on
44how to design <code>Key</code> classes
45for hardware devices, please refer to the
