Class CryptoSmartCard

java.lang.Object
  net.rim.device.api.smartcard.SmartCard
      net.rim.device.api.crypto.CryptoSmartCard

All Implemented Interfaces:

Persistable

public abstract class CryptoSmartCard
extends SmartCard

The CryptoSmartCard class should be extended by all cryptographic smart cards. Sub-classes must explicitly implement the Persistable interface if they are going to be registered as a smart card driver with the SmartCardFactory.
