| 27 | * Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework. |
| 28 | * This includes classes that implement an easily configurable, |
| 29 | * fine-grained access control security architecture. |
| 30 | * This package also supports |
| 31 | * the generation and storage of cryptographic public key pairs, |
| 32 | * as well as a number of exportable cryptographic operations |
| 33 | * including those for message digest and signature generation. Finally, |
| 34 | * this package provides classes that support signed/guarded objects |
| 35 | * and secure random number generation. |
| 36 | * |
| 37 | * Many of the classes provided in this package (the cryptographic |
| 38 | * and secure random number generator classes in particular) are |
| 39 | * provider-based. The class itself defines a programming interface |
| 40 | * to which applications may write. The implementations themselves may |
| 41 | * then be written by independent third-party vendors and plugged |
| 42 | * in seamlessly as needed. Therefore application developers may |
| 43 | * take advantage of any number of provider-based implementations |
| 44 | * without having to add or rewrite code. |
