/**
 * The <code>AlgorithmParameterGenerator</code> class is used to generate a
 * set of
 * parameters to be used with a certain algorithm. Parameter generators
 * are constructed using the <code>getInstance</code> factory methods
 * (static methods that return instances of a given class).
 * 
 * <P>The object that will generate the parameters can be initialized
 * in two different ways: in an algorithm-independent manner, or in an
 * algorithm-specific manner:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>The algorithm-independent approach uses the fact that all parameter
 * generators share the concept of a "size" and a
 * source of randomness. The measure of size is universally shared 
 * by all algorithm parameters, though it is interpreted differently
 * for different algorithms. For example, in the case of parameters for
 * the <i>DSA</i> algorithm, "size" corresponds to the size
 * of the prime modulus (in bits).
 * When using this approach, algorithm-specific parameter generation
 * values - if any - default to some standard values, unless they can be
 * derived from the specified size.<P>
 *
 * <li>The other approach initializes a parameter generator object
 * using algorithm-specific semantics, which are represented by a set of
 * algorithm-specific parameter generation values. To generate
 * Diffie-Hellman system parameters, for example, the parameter generation
 * values usually
 * consist of the size of the prime modulus and the size of the
 * random exponent, both specified in number of bits.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <P>In case the client does not explicitly initialize the
 * AlgorithmParameterGenerator
 * (via a call to an <code>init</code> method), each provider must supply (and
 * document) a default initialization. For example, the Sun provider uses a
 * default modulus prime size of 1024 bits for the generation of DSA
 * parameters.
