All Implemented Interfaces:
AsymmetricCryptoToken, CryptoToken, net.rim.vm.Persistable, Persistable

public abstract class KEACryptoToken
extends Object
implements AsymmetricCryptoToken, Persistable

An interface for KEA 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.
