/**
 * The KeyPairGenerator class is used to generate pairs of
 * public and private keys. Key pair generators are constructed using the
 * <code>getInstance</code> factory methods (static methods that
 * return instances of a given class).
 *
 * <p>A Key pair generator for a particular algorithm creates a public/private
 * key pair that can be used with this algorithm. It also associates
 * algorithm-specific parameters with each of the generated keys.
 * 
 * <p>There are two ways to generate a key pair: in an algorithm-independent
 * manner, and in an algorithm-specific manner.
 * The only difference between the two is the initialization of the object:
 * 
 * <ul>
 * <li><b>Algorithm-Independent Initialization</b>
 * <p>All key pair generators share the concepts of a keysize and a
 * source of randomness. The keysize is interpreted differently for different
 * algorithms (e.g., in the case of the <i>DSA</i> algorithm, the keysize 
 * corresponds to the length of the modulus).
 * There is an 
 * {@link #initialize(int, java.security.SecureRandom) initialize}
 * method in this KeyPairGenerator class that takes these two universally
 * shared types of arguments. There is also one that takes just a
 * <code>keysize</code> argument, and uses the <code>SecureRandom</code>
 * implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source
 * of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation
 * of <code>SecureRandom</code>, a system-provided source of randomness is
 * used.)
 * 
 * <p>Since no other parameters are specified when you call the above
 * algorithm-independent <code>initialize</code> methods, it is up to the
 * provider what to do about the algorithm-specific parameters (if any) to be
 * associated with each of the keys.
 * 
 * <p>If the algorithm is the <i>DSA</i> algorithm, and the keysize (modulus
 * size) is 512, 768, or 1024, then the <i>Sun</i> provider uses a set of
 * precomputed values for the <code>p</code>, <code>q</code>, and
 * <code>g</code> parameters. If the modulus size is not one of the above
 * values, the <i>Sun</i> provider creates a new set of parameters. Other
 * providers might have precomputed parameter sets for more than just the
 * three modulus sizes mentioned above. Still others might not have a list of
 * precomputed parameters at all and instead always create new parameter sets.
 * <p>
 *
 * <li><b>Algorithm-Specific Initialization</b>
 * <p>For situations where a set of algorithm-specific parameters already
 * exists (e.g., so-called <i>community parameters</i> in DSA), there are two
 * {@link #initialize(java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec)
 * initialize} methods that have an <code>AlgorithmParameterSpec</code>
 * argument. One also has a <code>SecureRandom</code> argument, while the
 * the other uses the <code>SecureRandom</code>
 * implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source
 * of randomness. (If none of the installed providers supply an implementation
 * of <code>SecureRandom</code>, a system-provided source of randomness is
 * used.)
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>In case the client does not explicitly initialize the KeyPairGenerator
 * (via a call to an <code>initialize</code> method), each provider must
 * supply (and document) a default initialization.
 * For example, the <i>Sun</i> provider uses a default modulus size (keysize)
 * of 1024 bits.
 *
 * <p>Note that this class is abstract and extends from
 * <code>KeyPairGeneratorSpi</code> for historical reasons.
 * Application developers should only take notice of the methods defined in
 * this <code>KeyPairGenerator</code> class; all the methods in
 * the superclass are intended for cryptographic service providers who wish to
 * supply their own implementations of key pair generators.
