Package org.globus.security Description

This library is a partial implementation of GSI. It is fully compatible with Globus GSI and can be used to write GSI-enabled clients and servers. It supports both host and subject authorizations. It does not, however, implement the GAA or offer a GSS API interface. It does not support certificate revocation lists (CRL) and does not check certificate extensions.
One unique feature of the library is that it can manage multiple credentials at the same time in the same process. Any library that uses the Java GSI library can take advantage of this capability.
