/**
 * This class specifies the set of parameters used with the Diffie-Hellman
 * algorithm, as specified in PKCS #3: <i>Diffie-Hellman Key-Agreement
 * Standard</i>.
 *
 * <p>A central authority generates parameters and gives them to the two
 * entities seeking to generate a secret key. The parameters are a prime
 * <code>p, a base g, and optionally the length
 * in bits of the private value, <code>l.
 *
 * <p>It is possible that more than one instance of parameters may be
 * generated by a given central authority, and that there may be more than
 * one central authority. Indeed, each individual may be its own central
 * authority, with different entities having different parameters.
 *
 * <p>Note that this class does not perform any validation on specified
 * parameters. Thus, the specified values are returned directly even
 * if they are null.
