/**
 * Key factories are used to convert <I>keys</I> (opaque
 * cryptographic keys of type <code>Key</code>) 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</code> or
 * <code>X509EncodedKeySpec</code>. 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>
