It's clearer to state that the given `KDFParameterSpec` must be 
`HKDFParameterSpec`. Also, given that KDF.getInstance() takes a KDFParameters 
parameters, I'd avoid the word "initialized" as it may confuse people which 
parameters you are talking about.
I'd suggest something like "HKDF data/key derivatopn requires 
HKDFParameterSpec, not " + derivationParameterSpec.getClass()
Also, for readability, it may be better to check the specified 
`derivationParameterSpec` is an instanceof `HKDFParameterSpec` in the beginning.
