* functions, the key will decide upon its internally stored encoding
* information whether to encode itself with or without domain
* parameters, or using the domain parameter oid. Furthermore, a public
* key without domain parameters can be decoded. In that case, it
* cannot be used for verification until its domain parameters are set
* by calling the corresponding member function.
