Class ECCryptoToken

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

public abstract class ECCryptoToken
extends Object
implements AsymmetricCryptoToken, Persistable

An interface for EC 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.
