- implements java.io.Serializable
This class represents a Java security architecture service provider.
The services provided by a such a provider can range from security
algorithms to key generation.
Providers are installed by name and version number. There is one
standard provider supplied with the class library. This is the
"GNU" provider, which can also be accessed by the alias "SUN" for
compatibility with the JDK.

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET[
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess
method is called with the string "putProviderProperty."+name, where name is
the provider name, to see if it's ok to set this provider's property
values.
If the default implementation of checkSecurityAccess is used
(that is, that method is not overriden), then this results in a call to the
security manager's checkPermission method with a
SecurityPermission("putProviderProperty."+name)
permission.
