public class PersonalSecurityStoreFactory

extends Object

Factory for creating PersonalSecurityStore objects. Currently returns either a PersonalSecurityStore or a IAIKSecurityStore (if the IAIK provider is installed). The latter can also create a new (and otherwise empty) security store, which just contains a certificate for the agent system itself.
Customize subclasses by overriding getClassOfStore.
