| /** | |
| * Provides classes and interfaces for key specifications and algorithm | |
| * parameter specifications. | |
| * | |
| * <p>A key specification is a transparent representation of the key material | |
| * that constitutes a key. A key may be specified in an algorithm-specific | |
| * way, or in an algorithm-independent encoding format (such as ASN.1). | |
| * This package contains key specifications for DSA public and private keys, | |
| * RSA public and private keys, PKCS #8 private keys in DER-encoded format, | |
| * and X.509 public and private keys in DER-encoded format. | |
| * | |
| * <p>An algorithm parameter specification is a transparent representation | |
| * of the sets of parameters used with an algorithm. This package contains | |
| * an algorithm parameter specification for parameters used with the | |
| * DSA algorithm. | |
| * | |
| * <h2>Package Specification</h2> | |
| * | |
| * <ul> | |
| * <li>PKCS #1: RSA Cryptography Specifications, Version 2.2 (RFC 8017)</li> | |
