/**
 * <p>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>
 *
 * <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:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *  <li>The algorithm-independent approach uses the fact that all parameter
 *  generators share the concept of a <i>"size"</i> and a <i>source of
 *  randomness</i>. The measure of <i>size</i> 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, <i>"size"</i> 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.</li>
 *  <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.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>In case the client does not explicitly initialize the
 * <code>AlgorithmParameterGenerator</code> (via a call to an <code>init()</code>
 * method), each provider must supply (and document) a default initialization.
 * For example, the <b>GNU</b> provider uses a default modulus prime size of
 * <code>1024</code> bits for the generation of <i>DSA</i> parameters.
