public interface SecretKeyRef extends KeyRef, javax.crypto.SecretKey
Interface for classes that reference a secret key stored on a smart card. Different cards use different ways of identifying a key on the card, for example file names, indexes, numbers, logical names. Wherever a card service interface needs to identify a key on card the interface should use type SecretKeyRef. Concrete card service implementations should then support a subset of the subclasses of SecretKeyRef, for example SecretKeyFile for cards that store their keys in ISO files.- Author:
