Class Contact

Package: io.keychain.core

public class Contact
extends io.keychain.core.Facade

Description

Contact represents the public cryptographic identity of an external Persona. For any Contact, there is a Persona in another Gateway somewhere managing the private keys.

The distinction between a Persona and a Contact is that a Gateway stores the public and private keys for each Persona whereas for Contact it only stores (and knows) the public keys of the Contact as recorded on the blockchain.
