This class specifies a secret key in a provider-independent fashion.
It can be used to construct a SecretKey
from a byte array,
without having to go through a (provider-based)
SecretKeyFactory
.
This class is only useful for raw secret keys that can be represented as a byte array and have no key parameters associated with them, e.g., DES or Triple DES keys.
