Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    33
This includes classes that implement an easily configurable,
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

parents:
diff changeset
    34
fine-grained access control security architecture.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

    35
This package also supports
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    36
the generation and storage of cryptographic public key pairs,
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    37
as well as a number of exportable cryptographic operations
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    38
including those for message digest and signature generation.  Finally,
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    39
this package provides classes that support signed/guarded objects
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    40
and secure random number generation.

Many of the classes provided in this package (the cryptographic
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    43
and secure random number generator classes in particular) are
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    44
provider-based.  The class itself defines a programming interface
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    45
to which applications may write.  The implementations themselves may
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    46
then be written by independent third-party vendors and plugged
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    47
in seamlessly as needed.  Therefore application developers may
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    48
take advantage of any number of provider-based implementations
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    49
without having to add or rewrite code.
