Detailed Description

An abstract base class for asynchronous key generation.

To use a KeyGenerationJob, first obtain an instance from the CryptoBackend implementation, connect the progress() and result() signals to suitable slots and then start the key generation with a call to start(). This call might fail, in which case the KeyGenerationJob instance will have scheduled it's own destruction with a call to QObject::deleteLater().

After result() is emitted, the KeyGenerationJob will schedule it's own destruction by calling QObject::deleteLater().
