/**
 * <p>Key factories are used to convert keys (opaque cryptographic keys of type
 * {@link Key}) into key specifications (transparent representations of the
 * underlying key material), and vice versa.</p>
 *
 * <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>
 *
 * <p>Multiple compatible key specifications may exist for the same key. For
 * example, a <i>DSA</i> public key may be specified using {@link
 * java.security.spec.DSAPublicKeySpec} or {@link
 * java.security.spec.X509EncodedKeySpec}. A key factory can be used to
 * translate between compatible key specifications.</p>
 *
 * <p>The following is an example of how to use a key factory in order to
 * instantiate a <i>DSA</i> 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>
