    - #### KeySpecificInfo

          public KeySpecificInfo(ASN1ObjectIdentifier algorithm,
                         ASN1OctetString counter)

      Base constructor.
      Parameters:
        `algorithm` - algorithm identifier for the CEK.
        `counter` - initial counter value for key derivation.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInstance

          public static KeySpecificInfo getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)

      Return a KeySpecificInfo object from the passed in object.
      Parameters:
        `obj` - an object for conversion or a byte[].
      Returns:
        a KeySpecificInfo

    - #### getAlgorithm

          public ASN1ObjectIdentifier getAlgorithm()

      The object identifier for the CEK wrapping algorithm.
      Returns:
        CEK wrapping algorithm OID.

    - #### getCounter

          public ASN1OctetString getCounter()

      The initial counter value for key derivation.
      Returns:
        initial counter value as a 4 byte octet string (big endian).

    - #### toASN1Primitive

          public ASN1Primitive toASN1Primitive()

      Return an ASN.1 primitive representation of this object.
      Specified by:
        `toASN1Primitive` in interface `ASN1Encodable`
      Specified by:
        `toASN1Primitive` in class `ASN1Object`
      Returns:
        a DERSequence containing the parameter values.
