Package org.dvb.auth.callback Description

Enables applications to ask the end-user for PIN codes. Applications will request the PIN code by implementing the interface CallbackHandler from this package. This handler will receive a PasswordCallback object when the implementation requires the PIN code.

NOTE: In order to prevent other applications listening in, it is recommended that applications use org.dvb.event to obtain exclusive access to the number keys when asking for the PIN code.
