Definition

This class centralizes all security properties and common security methods.

Remarks

This class centralizes all security properties and common security methods. One of its primary uses is to manage providers.

The default values of security properties are read from an implementation-specific location, which is typically the properties file lib/security/java.security in the Java installation directory.
