/**
 * <p> A <code>Subject</code> represents a grouping of related information
 * for a single entity, such as a person.
 * Such information includes the Subject's identities as well as
 * its security-related attributes
 * (passwords and cryptographic keys, for example).
 *
 * <p> Subjects may potentially have multiple identities.
 * Each identity is represented as a <code>Principal</code>
 * within the <code>Subject</code>.  Principals simply bind names to a
 * <code>Subject</code>.  For example, a <code>Subject</code> that happens
 * to be a person, Alice, might have two Principals:
 * one which binds "Alice Bar", the name on her driver license,
 * to the <code>Subject</code>, and another which binds,
 * "999-99-9999", the number on her student identification card,
 * to the <code>Subject</code>.  Both Principals refer to the same
 * <code>Subject</code> even though each has a different name.
 *
 * <p> A <code>Subject</code> may also own security-related attributes,
 * which are referred to as credentials.
 * Sensitive credentials that require special protection, such as
 * private cryptographic keys, are stored within a private credential
 * <code>Set</code>.  Credentials intended to be shared, such as
 * public key certificates or Kerberos server tickets are stored
 * within a public credential <code>Set</code>.  Different permissions
 * are required to access and modify the different credential Sets.
 *
 * <p> To retrieve all the Principals associated with a <code>Subject</code>,
 * invoke the <code>getPrincipals</code> method.  To retrieve
 * all the public or private credentials belonging to a <code>Subject</code>,
 * invoke the <code>getPublicCredentials</code> method or
 * <code>getPrivateCredentials</code> method, respectively.
 * To modify the returned <code>Set</code> of Principals and credentials,
 * use the methods defined in the <code>Set</code> class.
 * For example:
 * <pre>
 *	Subject subject;
 *	Principal principal;
 *	Object credential;
 *
 *	// add a Principal and credential to the Subject
 *	subject.getPrincipals().add(principal);
 *	subject.getPublicCredentials().add(credential);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p> This <code>Subject</code> class implements <code>Serializable</code>.
 * While the Principals associated with the <code>Subject</code> are serialized,
 * the credentials associated with the <code>Subject</code> are not.
 * Note that the <code>java.security.Principal</code> class
 * does not implement <code>Serializable</code>.  Therefore all concrete
 * <code>Principal</code> implementations associated with Subjects
 * must implement <code>Serializable</code>.
 *
 * @version 1.127, 11/17/05
 * @see java.security.Principal
 * @see java.security.DomainCombiner
