This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the SecretKeyFactory
class.
All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each
cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation
of a secret-key factory for a particular algorithm.
A provider should document all the key specifications supported by its
secret key factory.
For example, the DES secret-key factory supplied by the "SunJCE" provider
supports DESKeySpec
as a transparent representation of DES
keys, and that provider's secret-key factory for Triple DES keys supports
DESedeKeySpec
as a transparent representation of Triple DES
keys.

Returns a specification (key material) of the given key
object in the requested format.
Params: - key – the key
- keySpec – the requested format in which the key material shall be
returned
Throws: - InvalidKeySpecException – if the requested key specification is
inappropriate for the given key (e.g., the algorithms associated with
key
and keySpec
do not match, or
key
references a key on a cryptographic hardware device
whereas keySpec
is the specification of a software-based

secret-key factory).
