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

Signed: This element is only accessible by signed clients. If you intend to use this element, please contact RIM to establish the necessary agreements that will allow you to have your COD files signed. Signing is only required for use on the device, development under the JDE can occur without signing the CODs.
CryptoExtensionAPI: This element is part of the Crypto Extension API. These APIs are intended for parties interested in extending the security provider frameworks, such as integrating a new security medium.
Certicom: This element is part of the Certicom Cryptography APIs. The Certicom Cryptography APIs provide the tools you need, including ECC based algorithms, to integrate high performance data security into your applications, such as public key data encryption and decryption, digital signatures, and data authentication. Since the Certicom Cryptography API is already in the JDE, its use will remove the need for you to engage in time and resource intensive security integration so that you have lower development costs and a faster time to market. Use of the Certicom Cryptography API requires a license from Certicom. Please contact Certicom directly for more information on licensing fees and conditions.
isSupported(CryptoSystem cryptoSystem,
int operation)
Indicates whether the chosen operation is supported by this CryptoToken using the provided CryptoSytem.
boolean
providesUserAuthentication()
Returns true if the token provides its own user authentication checks, eg a smartcard will prompt for a password before allowing access to the keys.

Returns the algorithm supported by this token, ie "DSA".
This method will always return the String "DSA".
Returns:
A String that represents the name of the algorithm.
