Interface CryptoService

All Superinterfaces:

Initable, Service

All Known Implementing Classes:

TurbineCryptoService

public interface CryptoService

extends Service

The Crypto Service manages the availability of various crypto sources. It provides a consistent interface to things like the various java.security Message Digest stuff or the Unix Crypt algorithm. It contains no actual crypto code so it should be fine to import/export everywhere.
