> Main aspects I was focused on while making the proposal:
>  * simplify the _RSA_/_HMAC_ usage for users not familiar with {{java.security}} APIs, introducing {{KeyFactory}};
>  * reduce drastically the magic role of {{String}} in the _RSA_ algorithms,
>  I would avoid end users have to manipulate strings in order to obtain
>  different _RSA_ algorithms, but IMHO it has to be clear which algorithm
>  they are going to use by simply instantiating classes;
>  * have classes well organised, collected in different packages depending by the signature method.
