| 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. |
