This is the base interface for JSSE key managers.
KeyManagers are responsible for managing the
key material which is used to authenticate the local SSLSocket
to its peer. If no key material is available, the socket will
be unable to present authentication credentials.
KeyManagers are created by either
using a KeyManagerFactory,
or by implementing one of the KeyManager subclasses.
See Also: Since: 1.4
