net.rim.device.api.crypto.certificate
Class KeyUsage

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.rim.device.api.crypto.certificate.KeyUsage

public final class KeyUsage
extends Object

Defines several constants used to determine the purposes for which a key may be used. The names of these key usage purposes are taken from RFC 2459 (Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile) sections 4.2.1.3 (Key Usage) and 4.2.1.13 (Extended Key Usage).

These constants have values that enable them to be used as a bit field.

NUM_KEY_USAGES indicates how many key usages are known.
