package com.Yasna.forum;

/**
 * Proves that a user has successfully logged in. The existence of an
 * Authorization object indicates that a person has logged in correctly
 * and has authentication to act as the user associated with the
 * authentication. An instance of this object can be obtained from an
 * AuthorizationFactory and must be passed in to to get an intstance of
 * ForumFactory.
 * <p>
 * In the case of using the core forum services through a web interface, the
 * expected behavior is to have a user login and then store the Authorization
 * object in their session.
 * <p>
 * (Note by Matt) It's my opinion that this authorization method needs better
 * security. At the moment, this method is certainly ok if forum skins
 * can be trusted. However, the security goal has always been to protect as
 * much as possible against malicious skins. Therefore, the implementation of
 * this class will be changed in the near future to use signed objects. Some
 * thought will have to be given to a public/private key management system, so
 * I'm going to delay implementing it for now. This means -- be sure you can
 * trust your skins!!
