package com.sun.security.auth;

/**
 * An object that implements the <code>java.security.Principal</code>
 * interface typically also implements this interface to provide
 * a means for comparing that object to a specified <code>Subject</code>.
 *
 * <p> The comparison is achieved via the <code>implies</code> method.
 * The implementation of the <code>implies</code> method determines
 * whether this object "implies" the specified <code>Subject</code>.
 * One example application of this method may be for
 * a "group" object to imply a particular <code>Subject</code>
 * if that <code>Subject</code> belongs to the group.
 * Another example application of this method would be for
 * "role" object to imply a particular <code>Subject</code>
 * if that <code>Subject</code> is currently acting in that role.
 *
 * <p> Although classes that implement this interface typically
 * also implement the <code>java.security.Principal</code> interface,
 * it is not required.  In other words, classes may implement the
 * <code>java.security.Principal</code> interface by itself,
 * the <code>PrincipalComparator</code> interface by itself,
 * or both at the same time.
 *
 * @see java.security.Principal
 * @see javax.security.auth.Subject
