Using the provider

Some steps must be completed before the provider can be used.

Using the Security Builder API in your application provides a full listing of the steps involved in integrating Security Builder API functionality in your application.

Registration

To add support for an algorithm to your application, you must call the appropriate registration function(s). Calling hu_RegisterSbg56() registers support for all algorithms in the library.

Initialization

hu_InitSbg56() must be called once before the module can be used to perform cryptographic operations.

Self-test

You can run a self-test on the BlackBerry OS Cryptographic Kernel at any time in your program by calling hu_SelfTestSbg56().
