Documentation

A KeyFactory object is a reference-count pointer that wraps a KeyFactoryImpl object. It provides applications, albeit indirectly, with key generation, PEM or DER encoding and decoding of the key for export or import. 
Usage:

try {
KeyFactory fac = KeyFactory::getInstance();
KeyPair pair = fac->generateRSAKeyPair(); 
string enc = fac->getKeyEncoded("DER", pair.getPrivateKey());
PrivateKey key = fac->initPrivateKey("DER", "RSA", enc);

....
} catch(SecurityException e) { ... }
