 <H1><A name="Index-WelcometoApacheShiro"></A>Welcome to Apache Shiro</H1>

 <P>Apache Shiro is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session management. With Shiro&rsquo;s easy-to-understand API, you can quickly and easily secure any application &ndash; from the smallest mobile applications to the largest web and enterprise applications.</P>

 <P>We recommend you start with the <A href="10-minute-tutorial.html" title="10 Minute Tutorial">10 Minute Tutorial</A> which gives you a feel for Shiro and its API.  Then feel free to get started using Shiro in your own applications.</P>

 <P>If you have any questions, please check out our <A href="documentation.html" title="Documentation">documentation</A> or contact the user <A href="mailing-lists.html" title="Mailing Lists">mailing list</A>.</P>

 <P>And if you&rsquo;re a fan of Shiro and would like to help it grow, we invite you become a contributor to the project. Please check out the <A href="how-to-contribute.html" title="How to Contribute">New Contributor Guide</A>.</P>

	<H1><A name="Index-WelcometoApacheShiro"></A>Welcome to Apache Shiro</H1>

	<P>Apache Shiro is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session management. With Shiro’s easy-to-understand API, you can quickly and easily secure any application – from the smallest mobile applications to the largest web and enterprise applications.</P>

	<P>We recommend you start with the <A href="10-minute-tutorial.html" title="10 Minute Tutorial">10 Minute Tutorial</A> which gives you a feel for Shiro and its API. Then feel free to get started using Shiro in your own applications.</P>

	<P>If you have any questions, please check out our <A href="documentation.html" title="Documentation">documentation</A> or contact the user <A href="mailing-lists.html" title="Mailing Lists">mailing list</A>.</P>

	<P>And if you’re a fan of Shiro and would like to help it grow, we invite you become a contributor to the project. Please check out the <A href="how-to-contribute.html" title="How to Contribute">New Contributor Guide</A>.</P>
