AuthProviderpublic abstract class Provider extends Properties
Some provider implementations may encounter unrecoverable internal errors during their operation, for example a failure to communicate with a security token. A ProviderException should be used to indicate such errors.
Please note that a provider can be used to implement any security service in Java that uses a pluggable architecture with a choice of implementations that fit underneath.
The service type Provider is reserved for use by the security framework. Services of this type cannot be added, removed, or modified by applications. The following attributes are automatically placed in each Provider object:
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
Provider.id name | String.valueOf(provider.getName()) |
Provider.id version | String.valueOf(provider.getVersionStr()) |
Provider.id info | String.valueOf(provider.getInfo()) |
Provider.id className | provider.getClass().getName() |
Each provider has a name and a version string. A provider normally identifies itself with a file named java.security.Provider in the resource directory META-INF/services. Security providers are looked up via the ServiceLoader mechanism using the application class loader.
Providers may be configured such that they are automatically installed and made available at runtime via the Security.getProviders() method. The mechanism for configuring and installing security providers is implementation-specific.

These providers are automatically installed by the JDK runtime, see The Provider Class in the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) Reference Guide for information about how a particular type of provider, the cryptographic service provider, works and is installed.| Modifier and Type | Class | Description |

@Deprecated(since="9") protected Provider(String name, double version, String info)
Provider(String, String, String) instead.Provider with the specified name, version number, and information. Calling this constructor is equivalent to call the Provider(String, String, String) with name name, Double.toString(version), and info.name - the provider name.version - the provider version number.info - a description of the provider and its services.protected Provider(String name, String versionStr, String info)
Provider with the specified name, version string, and information. The version string contains a version number optionally followed by other information separated by one of the characters of '+', '-'. The format for the version number is:
^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*
In order to return the version number in a double, when there are more than two components (separated by '.' as defined above), only the first two components are retained. The resulting string is then passed to Double.valueOf(String) to generate version number, i.e. getVersion().
If the conversion failed, value 0 will be used.
