/**
 * A representation of the XML <code>KeyValue</code> element as defined
 * in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/">
 * W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing</a>. A 
 * <code>KeyValue</code> object contains a single public key that may be
 * useful in validating the signature. The XML schema definition is defined as:
 *
 * <pre>
 *    &lt;element name="KeyValue" type="ds:KeyValueType"/&gt;
 *    &lt;complexType name="KeyValueType" mixed="true"&gt;
 *      &lt;choice&gt;

 *      &lt;/choice&gt;
 *    &lt;/complexType&gt;
 *

 *          &lt;element name="Seed" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/&gt; 
 *          &lt;element name="PgenCounter" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/&gt; 
 *        &lt;/sequence&gt;
 *      &lt;/sequence&gt;

 *      &lt;/sequence&gt;
 *    &lt;/complexType&gt;
 * </pre>
 * A <code>KeyValue</code> instance may be created by invoking the
 * {@link KeyInfoFactory#newKeyValue newKeyValue} method of the
 * {@link KeyInfoFactory} class, and passing it a {@link 
 * java.security.PublicKey} representing the value of the public key. Here is 
 * an example of creating a <code>KeyValue</code> from a {@link DSAPublicKey} 
 * of a {@link java.security.cert.Certificate} stored in a 
 * {@link java.security.KeyStore}:
 * <pre>
 * KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
 * PublicKey dsaPublicKey = keyStore.getCertificate("myDSASigningCert").getPublicKey();
 * KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 * KeyValue keyValue = factory.newKeyValue(dsaPublicKey);
 * </pre>
 *
 * This class returns the <code>DSAKeyValue</code> and 
 * <code>RSAKeyValue</code> elements as objects of type 
 * {@link DSAPublicKey} and {@link RSAPublicKey}, respectively. Note that not 
 * all of the fields in the schema are accessible as parameters of these 
 * types.
