/**
   Key factories are used to convert keys (opaque cryptographic 
   keys of type Key) into key specifications (transparent 
   representations of the underlying key material).

   Key factories are bi-directional. They allow a key class 
   to be converted into a key specification (key material) and
   back again.

   For example DSA public keys can be specified as 
   DSAPublicKeySpec or X509EncodedKeySpec. The key factory
   translate these key specifications.
