Class LunaSession

java.lang.Object

com.safenetinc.luna.LunaSession

public class LunaSession
extends java.lang.Object

This class acts as an interface to sessions on the Luna HSM. In general an end user should not need to use this class; all the crypto functionality on the HSM is exposed through the normal JCA interface or via other proprietary classes. However, should one need manipulate sessions directly, there are public methods available which are demonstrated via the MiscSessionsDemo.java sample class.
