/**
* The <code>AlgorithmParameterGenerator</code> class is used to generate a
* set of
* parameters to be used with a certain algorithm. Parameter generators
* are constructed using the <code>getInstance</code> factory methods
* (static methods that return instances of a given class).
*
* <P>The object that will generate the parameters can be initialized
* in two different ways: in an algorithm-independent manner, or in an
* algorithm-specific manner:
*
* <ul>
* <li>The algorithm-independent approach uses the fact that all parameter
* generators share the concept of a "size" and a
* source of randomness. The measure of size is universally shared
* by all algorithm parameters, though it is interpreted differently
* for different algorithms. For example, in the case of parameters for
* the <i>DSA</i> algorithm, "size" corresponds to the size
* of the prime modulus (in bits).
* When using this approach, algorithm-specific parameter generation
* values - if any - default to some standard values, unless they can be
* derived from the specified size.<P>
*
* <li>The other approach initializes a parameter generator object
* using algorithm-specific semantics, which are represented by a set of
* algorithm-specific parameter generation values. To generate
* Diffie-Hellman system parameters, for example, the parameter generation
* values usually
* consist of the size of the prime modulus and the size of the
* random exponent, both specified in number of bits.
* </ul>
*
* <P>In case the client does not explicitly initialize the
* AlgorithmParameterGenerator
* (via a call to an <code>init</code> method), each provider must supply (and
* document) a default initialization. For example, the Sun provider uses a
* default modulus prime size of 1024 bits for the generation of DSA
* parameters.
