Description
The BlackBerry Cryptographic Tool Kit is a standards-based cryptographic toolkit that supports optimized Elliptic Curve Cryptography and provides application developers with sophisticated tools to flexibly integrate encryption, digital signatures and other security mechanisms into both mobile and server-based applications. The BlackBerry Cryptographic Tool Kit, part of the suite of BlackBerry cryptographic modules, provides application developers with a means to expand the secure capabilities and features BlackBerry is known for, to devices running operating systems other than BlackBerry OS.
