Class DHCryptoToken

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.rim.device.api.crypto.DHCryptoToken
All Implemented Interfaces:
AsymmetricCryptoToken, CryptoToken, Persistable

public abstract class DHCryptoToken
extends Object
implements AsymmetricCryptoToken

An interface for DH cryptographic tokens to implement.

Note: This class must be extended in order to override the default implementation.

Note: It is considered good practice to implement the equals and hashCode methods when extending this class. Otherwise, odd behaviour can occur.

Generates the shared secret using a given public key (from another party) and a private key.

Parameters:
cryptoSystemData - The data associated with the crypto token.
localPrivateKeyData - The local private key to use.
remotePublicKeyData - The remote public key to use.
useCofactor - A boolean that determines whether to use cofactor or not.
Returns:
A byte array containing the shared secret.
Throws:
InvalidCryptoSystemException - Thrown if any or both of the specified keys are invalid.
CryptoTokenException - Thrown if there was an error communicating with the token.
CryptoUnsupportedOperationException - Thrown if a call is made to an unsupported operation.
