// Each instantiation of a Tink primitive is identified by type_url,
// which is a global URL pointing to a *Key-proto that holds key material
// and other parameters of the instantiation.  For standard Tink key types
// the value of type_url follows the structure of type_url-field of
// google.protobuf.Any-protos, and is given as:
//
//   type.googleapis.com/packagename.messagename
//
// For example, for an HMAC key defined in proto google.cloud.tink.HmacKey
// the value of type_url is:
//
//   type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.tink.HmacKey
//
// For each type_url, in addition to the *Key proto, there exist two
// related structures:
//   1. *Params: parameters of an instantiation of the primitive,
//      needed when a key is being used.
//   2. *KeyFormat: parameters needed to generate a new key; these
//      include the corresponding Params, since when a factory generates
//      a key based on KeyFormat, it must add Params to the resulting
//      key proto with the actual key material.
// The actual *KeyFormat proto is wrapped in a KeyTemplate message.
// By convention, the name of the *KeyFormat-proto must be equal
// to the name of the *Key-proto from type_url-field suffixed with "Format".

// 4 types:
//   - Legacy: prefix is 5 bytes, starts with \x00 and followed by a 4-byte
//             key id that is computed from the key material.
//   - Crunchy: prefix is 5 bytes, starts with \x00 and followed by a 4-byte
//             key id that is generated randomly.
//   - Tink  : prefix is 5 bytes, starts with \x01 and followed by 4-byte
//             key id that is generated randomly.
//   - Raw   : prefix is 0 byte, i.e., empty.
