Java SE 7 Security Documentation
Java security technology includes a large set of APIs, tools,and implementations of commonly-used security algorithms,mechanisms, and protocols. The Java security APIs span a wide rangeof areas, including cryptography, public key infrastructure, securecommunication, authentication, and access control. Java securitytechnology provides the developer with a comprehensive securityframework for writing applications, and also provides the user oradministrator with a a set of tools to securely manageapplications.
