Security and cryptography classes are supported by the RI (cref). The support for security and cryptography enables you to:
Generate message digests using the SHA1 algorithm
Generate cryptographic keys on Java Card technology-compliant smart cards for use in the ECC and RSA algorithms
Set cryptographic keys on Java Card technology-compliant smart cards for use in the AES, DES, 3DES, ECC, and RSA algorithms
Encrypt and decrypt data with the keys using the AES, DES, 3DES, and RSA algorithms
Generate signatures using the AES, DES, 3DES, ECC, or SHA and RSA algorithms
Generate sequences of random bytes
Generate checksums
Use part of a message as padding in a signature block
Note:
DES is also known as single-key DES. 3DES is also known as triple-DES.
