/**
* <p>This interface encapsulates the GSS-API credentials for an entity.
* A credential contains all the necessary cryptographic information to
* enable the creation of a context on behalf of the entity that it
* represents. It may contain multiple, distinct, mechanism specific
* credential elements, each containing information for a specific
* security mechanism, but all referring to the same entity.</p>
*
* <p>A credential may be used to perform context initiation, acceptance,
* or both.</p>
*
* <p>GSS-API implementations must impose a local access-control policy on
* callers to prevent unauthorized callers from acquiring credentials to
* which they are not entitled. GSS-API credential creation is not
* intended to provide a "login to the network" function, as such a
* function would involve the creation of new credentials rather than
* merely acquiring a handle to existing credentials. Such functions,
* if required, should be defined in implementation-specific extensions
* to the API.</p>
*
* <p>If credential acquisition is time-consuming for a mechanism, the
* mechanism may choose to delay the actual acquisition until the
* credential is required (e.g. by {@link GSSContext}). Such mechanism-
* specific implementation decisions should be invisible to the calling
* application; thus the query methods immediately following the
* creation of a credential object must return valid credential data,
* and may therefore incur the overhead of a deferred credential
* acquisition.</p>
*
* <p>Applications will create a credential object passing the desired
* parameters. The application can then use the query methods to obtain
* specific information about the instantiated credential object
* (equivalent to the gss_inquire routines). When the credential is no
* longer needed, the application should call the dispose (equivalent to
* gss_release_cred) method to release any resources held by the
* credential object and to destroy any cryptographically sensitive
* information.</p>
*
* <p>Classes implementing this interface also implement the {@link Cloneable}
* interface. This indicates the the class will support the {@link
* Cloneable#clone()} method that will allow the creation of duplicate
* credentials. This is useful when called just before the {@link
* #add(org.ietf.jgss.GSSName,int,int,org.ietf.jgss.Oid,int)} call to retain
* a copy of the original credential.</p>
