net.rim.device.api.crypto
Class DSACryptoToken

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.rim.device.api.crypto.DSACryptoToken
All Implemented Interfaces:
AsymmetricCryptoToken, CryptoToken, Persistable
Direct Known Subclasses:
SmartCardDSACryptoToken

public abstract class DSACryptoToken
extends Object
implements AsymmetricCryptoToken

An interface for DSA cryptographic tokens to implement.

The RIM Crypto API will call this interface when a DSA operation is to be performed on a DSA enabled cryptographic token. Note: This class must be extended in order to override the default implementation.

Details on implementing for smart cards.

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