/**
 * A Key Agreement algorithm provides for the derivation of a shared secret key
 * based on a shared secret computed from certain types of compatible public
 * keys from both the sender and the recipient. Information from the originator
 * to determine the secret is indicated by an optional OriginatorKeyInfo
 * parameter child of an AgreementMethod element while that
 * associated with the recipient is indicated by an optional RecipientKeyInfo. A
 * shared key is derived from this shared secret by a method determined by the
 * Key Agreement algorithm.
 * 
 * Note: XML Encryption does not provide an on-line key agreement
 * negotiation protocol. The AgreementMethod element can be used by
 * the originator to identify the keys and computational procedure that were
 * used to obtain a shared encryption key. The method used to obtain or select
 * the keys or algorithm used for the agreement computation is beyond the scope
 * of this specification.
 * 

 * The AgreementMethod element appears as the content of a
 * ds:KeyInfo since, like other ds:KeyInfo children,
 * it yields a key. This ds:KeyInfo is in turn a child of an
 * EncryptedData or EncryptedKey element. The
 * Algorithm attribute and KeySize child of the EncryptionMethod
 * element under this EncryptedData or EncryptedKey
 * element are implicit parameters to the key agreement computation. In cases
 * where this EncryptionMethod algorithm URI is
 * insufficient to determine the key length, a KeySize MUST have been included.
 * In addition, the sender may place a KA-Nonce element under
 * AgreementMethod to assure that different keying material is
 * generated even for repeated agreements using the same sender and recipient
 * public keys.
 * 

 * If the agreed key is being used to wrap a key, then
 * AgreementMethod would appear inside a ds:KeyInfo
 * inside an EncryptedKey element.
 * 

 * The Schema for AgreementMethod is as follows:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 *     
 *         
 *         
 *         
 *
