net.rim.device.api.crypto.ECCryptoToken
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- AsymmetricCryptoToken, CryptoToken, Persistable, Persistable
public abstract class ECCryptoToken
- extends Object
- implements AsymmetricCryptoToken, Persistable
An interface for EC 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.

throws InvalidCryptoSystemException,
CryptoTokenException,
CryptoUnsupportedOperationException
- Generates the shared secret using the elliptic curve
key agreement developed by Menezes, Qu, and Vanstone.
- Parameters:
cryptoTokenCryptoSystemData - The crypto system data associated with
the crypto token.cryptoTokenLocalStaticPrivateKeyData - The local private key data.cryptoTokenLocalEphemeralPrivateKeyData - The local ephemeral
private key data.cryptoTokenLocalEphemeralPublicKeyData - The local ephemeral public
key data.remoteStaticPublicKeyData - The remote public key data which is encoded as an
ANSI X9.62 ECPoint object.remoteEphemeralPublicKeyData - The remote ephemeral public key data which is encoded as an
ANSI X9.62 ECPoint object.useCofactor - The boolean that determines if the cofactor will be
used in the calculations
- Returns:
- A byte array containing the shared secret. Note that this is the raw shared secret.
The user can then pass this byte array into any PseudoRandomSource that they desire. Note also that
the raw shared secret is an element of the finite field that the elliptic curve is defined over.
- Throws:
InvalidCryptoSystemException - Thrown if the specified crypto
system is invalid.
CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with the crypto
token or the crypto token is invalid.
