Interface ICertificateProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

ResourceCertificateProvider

public interface ICertificateProvider

The certificate provider provides abstract access to the initial certificates and keys that are deployed on the device. The reason for this indirection is the lack of file system support on some devices. Thus, by implementing different device-specific providers, it is possible to get around this limitation.
