| * Core interfaces and exceptions concerning Authentication (the act of logging-in). | |
| * <p/> | |
| * Apache Ki abbreviates the word 'AuthentiCation' as <tt>authc</tt> to distinguish it seperately from | |
| * 'AuthoriZation', abbreviated as <tt>authz</tt>. | |
| * <p/> | |
| * The primary item of interest in this package is the <tt>Authenticator</tt> interface, which acts as the | |
| * entry point (facade) to all other other authentication components. Other components, interfaces and | |
| * exceptions are here to support <tt>Authenticator</tt> implementations. | |
