  A representation of the XML KeyName element as
defined in the
W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing.
A KeyName object contains a string value which may be used
by the signer to communicate a key identifier to the recipient. The
XML Schema Definition is defined as:

 <element name="KeyName" type="string"/>
 

A KeyName instance may be created by invoking the
newKeyName method of the
KeyInfoFactory class, and passing it a String
representing the name of the key; for example:

 KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 KeyName keyName = factory.newKeyName("Alice");
