validating credentials. It is designed to be highly scalable for use in an HPC
cluster environment. It allows a process to authenticate the UID and GID of
another local or remote process within a group of hosts having common users and
groups. These hosts form a security realm that is defined by a shared
cryptographic key. Clients within this security realm can create and validate
credentials without the use of root privileges, reserved ports, or
platform-specific methods.
