* Generates keys for the Poly1305 MAC.
*
* Poly1305 keys are 256 bit keys consisting of a 128 bit secret key used for the underlying block
* cipher followed by a 128 bit {@code r} value used for the polynomial portion of the Mac.
* The {@code r} value has a specific format with some bits required to be cleared, resulting in an
* effective 106 bit key.
* A separately generated 256 bit key can be modified to fit the Poly1305 key format by using the
* {@link #clamp(byte[])} method to clear the required bits.
