/**
* This class defines the <i>Service Provider Interface</i> (<b>SPI</b>)
* for the {@code KeyFactory} class.
* All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each
* cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation
* of a key factory for a particular algorithm.
*
* <P> Key factories are used to convert <I>keys</I> (opaque
* cryptographic keys of type {@code Key}) into <I>key specifications</I>
* (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> A provider should document all the key specifications supported by its
* key factory.
