JSecurity Description

Open source, free, powerful and flexible open-source Java security framework JSecurity will allow developers to cleanly handle authorization, authentication, enterprise session management and cryptography. Here are some key features of "JSecurity": · The easiest to understand Java Security API anywhere. Class and Interface names are intuitive and make sense. Anything is pluggable but good defaults exist for everything. · Simple authentication (login) supported by one or more pluggable data sources (LDAP, JDBC, Kerberos, ActiveDirectory, etc). · Simple authorization ('access control') with roles and fine-grained permissions support also using the above pluggable data sources. · Top-tier caching support for enhanced application performance. · Built-in POJO-based Enterprise Session Management. Use in both web and non-web environments or in any environment where Single Sign On (SSO) or clustered or distributed sessions are desired. · Heterogeneous client session access. You are no longer forced to use only the HttpSession or Stateful Session Beans, which often unnecessarily tied applications to specific environments. Flash applets, C# applications, Java Web Start, and Web Applications, etc. can now all share session state regardless of deployment environment. · Simple Single Sign-On (SSO) support piggybacking the above Enterprise Session Management. If sessions are federated across multiple applications, the user's authentication state can be shared too. Log in once to any application and the others all recognize that log-in. · Simplest possible Cryptography APIs. Our Ciphers and Hashes (aka Digests) wrap the more complicated Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE) infrastructure, and are much easier to understand and use. For example, new Md5Hash("blah").toHex(); gives you the hex-encoded md5 hash of "blah". · An incredibly robust yet low-configuration web framework that can secure any url or resource, automatically handle logins and logouts, perform Remember Me services, and more. · Extremely low number of required dependencies. Standalone configuration requires only commons-logging.jar. Web configuration requires only commons-logging.jar and commons-beanutils-core.jar. Feature-based dependencies (Ehcache caching, Quartz-based Session validation, Spring dependency injection, etc) can be added when needed.
