The `DefaultSecurityManager` Class

Table 4–4 lists the methods belonging to the DefaultSecurityManagerclass. This class provides a basic implementation of SecurityManager (see Table 4–6).

128–bit security keys are generated from the pin using MD5 digest. The key is used to reverse a basic pin derivatives algorithm for client authentication. It is also used as the symmetric key for Triple-DES encryption of data at rest on the device.

Table 4–4 Class com.sun.mep.client.api.DefaultSecurityManager


Method	Description
`public DefaultSecurityManager(java.lang.String contextName)`	Single-argument constructor. The `contextName` parameter is used to uniquely store security-related information in the Record Management System (RMS) about this security manager. The context name should be unique across applications and instances of `SecurityManager` and should be no more than 16 Unicode characters long.
`public final byte[] computeKey(java.lang.String pin)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public static final byte[] computeMD5Digest(byte[] dataBytes)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public static final byte[] computeMD5Digest(java.lang.String data)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public final byte[] decrypt(byte[] cipherText)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public final boolean destroyBusinessObjects(SyncManager mgr)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManager` Class.
`public final byte[] encrypt(byte[] plainText)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public final byte[] getKey()`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public final long getMaxQuietPeriod()`	Inherited from The `SecurityManager` Class.
`public final int getMaxValidationAttempts()`	Inherited from The `SecurityManager` Class.
`public final long getRemainingQuietTime(SyncManager mgr)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManager` Class.
`public final int getValidationAttempts()`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public final boolean isPinSet()`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public void setKey(byte[] key)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public final void setMaxQuietPeriod(long period)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManager` Class.
`public final void setMaxValidationAttempts(int attempts)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManager` Class.
`public final void storeCredentials(java.lang.String secret`)	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
`public final boolean validatePin(java.lang.String pin)`	Inherited from The `SecurityManagerBase` Class.
