/**
 * <p>This class is used as an opaque representation of cryptographic
 * parameters.</p>
 *
 * <p>An <code>AlgorithmParameters</code> object for managing the parameters
 * for a particular algorithm can be obtained by calling one of the
 * <code>getInstance()</code> factory methods (static methods that return
 * instances of a given class).</p>
 *
 * <p>There are two ways to request such an implementation: by specifying
 * either just an algorithm name, or both an algorithm name and a package
 * provider.</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *    <li>If just an algorithm name is specified, the system will determine if
 *    there is an AlgorithmParameters implementation for the algorithm requested
 *    available in the environment, and if there is more than one, if there is
 *    a preferred one.</li>
 *    <li>If both an algorithm name and a package provider are specified, the
 *    system will determine if there is an implementation in the package
 *    requested, and throw an exception if there is not.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Once an <code>AlgorithmParameters</code> object is returned, it must be
 * initialized via a call to <code>init()</code>, using an appropriate
 * parameter specification or parameter encoding.</p>
 *
 * <p>A transparent parameter specification is obtained from an
 * <code>AlgorithmParameters</code> object via a call to
 * <code>getParameterSpec()</code>, and a byte encoding of the parameters is
 * obtained via a call to <code>getEncoded()</code>.</p>
