The Access Service provides a framework for using the identities created
with the Membership Service to control whether specific operations are
permitted.
The Access Service, like the Membership Service, is not associated with
a particular JXTA protocol. Each Access Service implementation is
responsible for its own protocol definition (if any). This approach is used
primarily so that JXTA bridges well to existing common Membership and Access
technologies. For example; PKI, LDAP Kerberos, NTLM and API based interfaces
such as PAM and JAAS.
