/**
* 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:
*
* <element name="AgreementMethod" type="xenc:AgreementMethodType"/>
* <complexType name="AgreementMethodType" mixed="true">
* <sequence>
* <element name="KA-Nonce" minOccurs="0" type="base64Binary"/>
* <!-- <element ref="ds:DigestMethod" minOccurs="0"/> -->
* <any namespace="##other" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
* <element name="OriginatorKeyInfo" minOccurs="0" type="ds:KeyInfoType"/>
* <element name="RecipientKeyInfo" minOccurs="0" type="ds:KeyInfoType"/>
* </sequence>
* <attribute name="Algorithm" type="anyURI" use="required"/>
* </complexType>
