Class Persona

Persona represents a cryptographic identity, the private keys of which are created and managed within the same local database used by the Gateway object that created the Persona. The cryptographic identity comprises of an encryption keychain and a signature keychaink. The Persona class functions primarily as a handle for Persona objects that are established by the Gateway object.

Multiple Personas may be managed by the same Gateway, and each Persona maps to a different set of Contacts. As such, Persona objects provide context for Gateway cryptographic operations such as encryption and signing, as the Contacts of one Persona might not be a Contact of another Persona.
