Difference between genKeyPair() and buildKey()

843851Jan 9 2010 — edited Jan 22 2010
I am developing a java card applet which requires key generation. I have to know the exact difference between KeyBuilder and KeyPair. I also want to know the difference between buildKey and KeyPair.

If buildKey() can be used to generate RSA Public Key and Private Key, How the relationship between the public key and private key is maintained.?

What type of memory is used by the genKeyPair() method. Transient or Persistent ?.

For Key Generation what method is recommended?
