The Java Card 3 platform uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to provide security for applications by encrypting and decrypting data. An SSL implementation needs four algorithms, digital signature, key establishment, bulk encryption, and message digest.
The Java Card 3 platform implements the SSL key establishment algorithm through the use of a set of certificates and keys as key=value pairs specified in the config.properties file.
You do not have to set up security when running samples provided with the plugin or the Java Card 3 Kenai project site. The plugins provide a default config.properties file that is used when running the sample projects.
See the appropriate Java Card 3 platform documentation on the Java Card 3 Kenai project site for detailed information about setting up security for a project.
