 * KeyFactorySpi is the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the
 * KeyFactory class. This is the interface for providers to
 * supply to implement a key factory for an algorithm.
 *
 * Key factories are used to convert keys (opaque cryptographic
 * keys of type Key) into key specifications (transparent
 * representations of the underlying key material).
 *
 * Key factories are bi-directional. They allow a key class
 * to be converted into a key specification (key material) and
 * back again.
 *
 * For example DSA public keys can be specified as
 * DSAPublicKeySpec or X509EncodedKeySpec. The key factory
 * translate these key specifications.
