+/**
+ * Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
+ * This includes classes that implement an easily configurable,
+ * fine-grained access control security architecture.
+ * This package also supports
+ * the generation and storage of cryptographic public key pairs,
+ * as well as a number of exportable cryptographic operations
+ * including those for message digest and signature generation.  Finally,
+ * this package provides classes that support signed/guarded objects
+ * and secure random number generation.
+ *
+ * Many of the classes provided in this package (the cryptographic
+ * and secure random number generator classes in particular) are
+ * provider-based.  The class itself defines a programming interface
+ * to which applications may write.  The implementations themselves may
+ * then be written by independent third-party vendors and plugged
+ * in seamlessly as needed.  Therefore application developers may
+ * take advantage of any number of provider-based implementations
+ * without having to add or rewrite code.
