org.mozilla.jss.pkcs11
Class KeyType

java.lang.Object
  org.mozilla.jss.pkcs11.KeyType

public final class KeyType
extends java.lang.Object

PKCS #11 Key Types These are the possible types for keys in the wrapper library. Key types are implemented as flyweights. Although the KeyType class is public, it should be considered private. We made the KeyType class public so that we can force it to load during CryptoManager.initialize(), before we install JSS as a provider.

Field Summary
