/**
 * @brief A basic class for mapping KeyInfo elements to Keys.
 *
 * This class is provides a method for applications to extract
 * keys from KeyInfo elements that have a public key embedded.
 *
 * The class makes use of the makeKey() method available in all
 * keyInfo elements.  (Which in turn relies on the clone*Key
 * methods available from the Encryption provider - these may
 * not be available, so this class may not work well in these
 * cases.)
 *
 * @note This class is <B>very</B> basic.  It does not validate
 * the trustworthyness of the key in any way.  It simply reads
 * the key from the first KeyInfo element that actually holds it
 * and returns the result (or NULL) if none is found.  It is mainly
 * provided to allow for interoperability testing.
