Subject: Re: ETA for java.security.acl?
Marianne and Dave:
Thanks for the clarification.
What we are doing is connecting the identity determination and authentication
capabilities of a smart card with establishing a Principal so that our clients
will have a complete ACL solution to attach to whatever they want to protect.
I understand that their application software has to implement the semantics of
ACLs.
Since the Java Card API is a semi-official Java API (it is owned by JavaSoft
and on your server but not listed in the API list) it might be interesting to
connect this API with the ACL API.
Glad to help if you like.
Cheers, Scott
