Module jakarta.security.auth.message

Package jakarta.security.auth.message

package jakarta.security.auth.message

This package defines the core interfaces of Jakarta Authentication. The SPI defines the interfaces by which pluggable authentication mechanisms (aka message authentication modules) may be configured and invoked by a container (aka message processing runtimes). The term "message" in this context derives from Message Level Security (MLS) vs Transport Level Security (TLS).
