public class UnknownKeyAttribute
extends KeyAttribute

This class implements any unknown Key Attribute. It tries to show as much information as possible about the key attribute.

An Unknown Key Attribute is a key attribute for which no particular implementation is registered.

When decoding a OtherKeyAttribute of unkonwn type, a UnknownKeyAttribute object is created for the unknown KeyAttribute allowing to query for information about the KeyAttribute.
