Class RSAEncryptorEngine
java.lang.Object
net.rim.device.api.crypto.RSAEncryptorEngine
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- BlockEncryptorEngine, PublicKeyEncryptorEngine
public final class RSAEncryptorEngine
- extends Object
- implements PublicKeyEncryptorEngine
Provides the RSA encryption functionality on a block
by block basis. The block length is the size of the modulus, which must be a multiple of 8 bits.
A description of the RSA algorithm can be found in PKCS #1 version 2.1. We support this definition of RSA.
