/**
 * <p> This class implements the <code>Principal</code> interface
 * and represents information about a Windows NT user, group or realm.
 *
 * <p> Windows NT chooses to represent users, groups and realms (or domains)
 * with not only common names, but also relatively unique numbers.  These
 * numbers are called Security IDentifiers, or SIDs.  Windows NT
 * also provides services that render these SIDs into string forms.
 * This class represents these string forms.
 *
 * <p> Principals such as this <code>NTSid</code>
 * may be associated with a particular <code>Subject</code>
 * to augment that <code>Subject</code> with an additional
 * identity.  Refer to the <code>Subject</code> class for more information
 * on how to achieve this.  Authorization decisions can then be based upon
 * the Principals associated with a <code>Subject</code>.
