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