v1.0.22-beta:

Added MAC keyed hashers like HMAC-SHA256 or MAC-3DES.
Added a MAC key importing/exporting utility MacKey in the style of EncryptedKey or ProtectedKey.
Changed the access of the classes `HashAlgorithmFactory`,`KeyedHashAlgorithmFactory`,`SymmetricAlgorithmFactory`, `KeyLocationStrategy` to public.
