31  * <p> This class defines the <i>Service Provider Interface</i> (<b>SPI</b>)
32  * for the {@code KeyPairGenerator} class, which is used to generate
33  * pairs of public and private keys.
34  *
35  * <p> All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each
36  * cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation
37  * of a key pair generator for a particular algorithm.
38  *
39  * <p> In case the client does not explicitly initialize the KeyPairGenerator
40  * (via a call to an {@code initialize} method), each provider must
41  * supply (and document) a default initialization.
42  * For example, the <i>Sun</i> provider uses a default modulus size (keysize)
43  * of 1024 bits.
