type Parameters interface {
// HasIDRequirement tells whether the key has an ID requirement, that is, if a
// key generated with these parameters must have a given ID.
//
// In Tink, certain keys change their behavior depending on the key ID (e.g.,
// an AEAD object may add a prefix containing the big endian encoding of the
// key id to the ciphertext). In this case, such a key should require a unique
// id in key.IDRequirement() and return true.

// Key represents a Tink key.
//
// A Tink key is a cryptographic function, that is, it contains all the
// information necessary to perform cryptographic operations. Keys are meant to
// be grouped in keysets, from which primitives can be obtained.
type Key interface {
// Parameters returns the parameters of this key.
Parameters() Parameters
// IDRequirement returns required to indicate if this key requires an
// identifier. If it does, id will contain that identifier.
//
// An ID requirement is an identifier that may change the behavior of the
// function this key represents. If the key is in a keyset and
// the key has an ID requirement, this matches the keyset key ID.
//
// As an invariant, required will be true if and only if
// Parameters.HasIDRequirement(). If not required, the returned ID
// is zero and unusable.
IDRequirement() (idRequirement uint32, required bool)
// Equal compares this key object with other.
