/**
* A secret (symmetric) key.
* The purpose of this interface is to group (and provide type safety
* for) all secret key interfaces.
* <p>
* Provider implementations of this interface must overwrite the
* {@code equals} and {@code hashCode} methods inherited from
* {@link java.lang.Object}, so that secret keys are compared based on
* their underlying key material and not based on reference.
* Implementations should override the default {@code destroy} and
* {@code isDestroyed} methods from the
* {@link javax.security.auth.Destroyable} interface to enable
* sensitive key information to be destroyed, cleared, or in the case
* where such information is immutable, unreferenced.
* Finally, since {@code SecretKey} is {@code Serializable}, implementations
* should also override
* {@link java.io.ObjectOutputStream#writeObject(java.lang.Object)}
* to prevent keys that have been destroyed from being serialized.
*
* <p>Keys that implement this interface return the string {@code RAW}
* as their encoding format (see {@code getFormat}), and return the
* raw key bytes as the result of a {@code getEncoded} method call. (The
* {@code getFormat} and {@code getEncoded} methods are inherited
* from the {@link java.security.Key} parent interface.)
