/**
 * 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. A credential
 * may be used to perform context initiation, acceptance, or both.<p>
 *
 * Credentials are instantiated using one of the
 * {@code createCredential} methods in the {@link GSSManager
 * GSSManager} class. 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. The
 * <a href=package-summary.html#useSubjectCredsOnly>section on credential
 * acquisition</a> in the package level description describes
 * how existing credentials are acquired in the Java platform. 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. <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.
 * When the credential is no longer needed, the application should call
 * the {@link #dispose() dispose} method to release any resources held by
 * the credential object and to destroy any cryptographically sensitive
 * information.<p>
 *
 * This example code demonstrates the creation of a GSSCredential
 * implementation for a specific entity, querying of its fields, and its
 * release when it is no longer needed:
 * <pre>
 *    GSSManager manager = GSSManager.getInstance();
 *
 *    // start by creating a name object for the entity
 *    GSSName name = manager.createName("myusername", GSSName.NT_USER_NAME);
 *
 *    // now acquire credentials for the entity
 *    GSSCredential cred = manager.createCredential(name,
 *                    GSSCredential.ACCEPT_ONLY);
 *
 *    // display credential information - name, remaining lifetime,
 *    // and the mechanisms it has been acquired over
 *    System.out.println(cred.getName().toString());
 *    System.out.println(cred.getRemainingLifetime());
 *
 *    Oid [] mechs = cred.getMechs();
 *    if (mechs != null) {
 *            for (int i = 0; i{@literal <} mechs.length; i++)
 *                    System.out.println(mechs[i].toString());
 *    }
 *
 *    // release system resources held by the credential
 *    cred.dispose();
 * </pre>
 *
