/**
 * This class is used as an opaque representation of cryptographic parameters.
 *
 * <p>An {@code AlgorithmParameters} object for managing the parameters
 * for a particular algorithm can be obtained by
 * calling one of the {@code getInstance} factory methods
 * (static methods that return instances of a given class).
 *
 * <p>Once an {@code AlgorithmParameters} object is obtained, it must be
 * initialized via a call to {@code init}, using an appropriate parameter
 * specification or parameter encoding.
 *
 * <p>A transparent parameter specification is obtained from an
 * {@code AlgorithmParameters} object via a call to
 * {@code getParameterSpec}, and a byte encoding of the parameters is
 * obtained via a call to {@code getEncoded}.
 *
 * <p> Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
 * following standard {@code AlgorithmParameters} algorithms:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code AES}</li>
 * <li>{@code DES}</li>
 * <li>{@code DESede}</li>
 * <li>{@code DiffieHellman}</li>
 * <li>{@code DSA}</li>
 * </ul>
 * These algorithms are described in the <a href=
 * "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#AlgorithmParameters">
 * AlgorithmParameters section</a> of the
 * Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation.
 * Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any
 * other algorithms are supported.
