Method Detail
isSupported
public boolean isSupported(CryptoSystem cryptoSystem,
int operation)
Indicates whether the chosen operation is supported by this CryptoToken using the provided CryptoSytem.
Parameters:
cryptoSystem - The CryptoSystem to check against.
operation - An integer, either KEY_GENERATION, PUBLIC_KEY_OPERATION, PRIVATE_KEY_OPERATION,
or some other value specific to the cryptosystem that indicates the operation to be checked.
