/**
 * Key factories are used to convert <I>keys (opaque
 * cryptographic keys of type {@code Key}) into <I>key specifications
 * (transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice
 * versa.
 *
 * <P> Key factories are bi-directional. That is, they allow you to build an
 * opaque key object from a given key specification (key material), or to
 * retrieve the underlying key material of a key object in a suitable format.
 *
 * <P> Multiple compatible key specifications may exist for the same key.
 * For example, a DSA public key may be specified using
 * {@code DSAPublicKeySpec} or
 * {@code X509EncodedKeySpec}. A key factory can be used to translate
 * between compatible key specifications.
 *
 * <P> The following is an example of how to use a key factory in order to
 * instantiate a DSA public key from its encoding.
 * Assume Alice has received a digital signature from Bob.
 * Bob also sent her his public key (in encoded format) to verify
 * his signature. Alice then performs the following actions:
 *
 * <pre>
 * X509EncodedKeySpec bobPubKeySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(bobEncodedPubKey);
 * KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("DSA");
 * PublicKey bobPubKey = keyFactory.generatePublic(bobPubKeySpec);
 * Signature sig = Signature.getInstance("DSA");
 * sig.initVerify(bobPubKey);
 * sig.update(data);
 * sig.verify(signature);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p> Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
 * following standard {@code KeyFactory} algorithms:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code DiffieHellman}
 * <li>{@code DSA}
 * <li>{@code RSA}
 * </ul>
 * These algorithms are described in the <a href=
 * "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#KeyFactory">
 * KeyFactory section</a> of the
 * Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation.
 * Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any
 * other algorithms are supported.
