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