    • getAuthType

    • authenticate

      public abstract byte[] authenticate(ChallengeResponse challenge, AbstractRequest request) throws HandleException

      Returns:
      a signature of the concatenation of nonce and requestDigest.
      Throws:
      HandleException

    • getUserIdIndex

      public abstract int getUserIdIndex()
