More Javadocs for AndroidKeyStore public classes.

This adds more detailed class-level Javadocs (incl. examples) for the
following public API of Android KeyStore facility:
* KeyPairGeneratorSpec,
* KeyGeneratorSpec,
* KeyStoreParameter,
* KeyStoreKeySpec.

This also clarifies what encryption at rest means.

/**
* {@link AlgorithmParameterSpec} for initializing a {@code KeyGenerator} that works with
* <a href="{@docRoot}training/articles/keystore.html">Android KeyStore facility</a>.
* {@link AlgorithmParameterSpec} for initializing a {@link KeyGenerator} of the
* <a href="{@docRoot}training/articles/keystore.html">Android KeyStore facility</a>. This class
* specifies whether user authentication is required for using the key, what uses the key is
* authorized for (e.g., only in {@code CBC} mode), whether the key should be encrypted at rest, the
* key's and validity start and end dates.
*
* <p>The Android KeyStore facility is accessed through a {@link KeyGenerator} API using the
* {@code AndroidKeyStore} provider. The {@code context} passed in may be used to pop up some UI to
* ask the user to unlock or initialize the Android KeyStore facility.
* <p>To generate a key, create an instance of this class using the {@link Builder}, initialize a
* {@code KeyGenerator} of the desired key type (e.g., {@code AES} or {@code HmacSHA256}) from the
* {@code AndroidKeyStore} provider with the {@code KeyGeneratorSpec} instance, and then generate a
* key using {@link KeyGenerator#generateKey()}.
*
* <p>After generation, the {@code keyStoreAlias} is used with the
* {@link java.security.KeyStore#getEntry(String, java.security.KeyStore.ProtectionParameter)}
* interface to retrieve the {@link SecretKey}.
* <p>The generated key will be returned by the {@code KeyGenerator} and also stored in the Android
* KeyStore under the alias specified in this {@code KeyGeneratorSpec}. To obtain the key from the
* Android KeyStore use
* {@link java.security.KeyStore#getKey(String, char[]) KeyStore.getKey(String, null)} or
* {@link java.security.KeyStore#getEntry(String, java.security.KeyStore.ProtectionParameter) KeyStore.getEntry(String, null)}.
*
* <p>NOTE: The key material of the keys generating using the {@code KeyGeneratorSpec} is not
* accessible.
*
* <p><h3>Example</h3>
* The following example illustrates how to generate an HMAC key in the Android KeyStore under alias
* {@code key1} authorized to be used only for HMAC with SHA-256 digest and only if the user has
* been authenticated within the last five minutes.
* <pre> {@code
* KeyGenerator keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance(
* KeyStoreKeyProperties.Algorithm.HMAC_SHA256,
* "AndroidKeyStore");
* keyGenerator.initialize(
* new KeyGeneratorSpec.Builder(context)
* .setAlias("key1")
* .setPurposes(KeyStoreKeyProperties.Purpose.SIGN
* | KeyStoreKeyProperties.Purpose.VERIFY)
* // Only permit this key to be used if the user authenticated
* // within the last five minutes.
* .setUserAuthenticationRequired(true)
* .setUserAuthenticationValidityDurationSeconds(5 * 60)
* .build());
* SecretKey key = keyGenerator.generateKey();
*
* // The key can also be obtained from the Android KeyStore any time as follows:
* KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
* keyStore.load(null);
* SecretKey key = (SecretKey) keyStore.getKey("key1", null);
* }</pre>
