p>A key specification is a transparent representation of the key material
1178N/Athat constitutes a key. A key may be specified in an algorithm-specific
1178N/Away, or in an algorithm-independent encoding format (such as ASN.1).
1178N/AThis package contains key specifications for DSA public and private keys,
1178N/ARSA public and private keys, PKCS #8 private keys in DER-encoded format,
1178N/Aand X.509 public and private keys in DER-encoded format.
