//
// SSecurity - class on the server side for handling security handshaking.  A
// derived class for a particular security type overrides the processMsg()
// method.

// processMsg() is called first when the security type has been decided
// on, and will keep being called whenever there is data to read from
// the client.  It should return false when it needs more data, or true
// when the connection has been successfully authenticated.  In the
// event of authentication failure an auth_error should be thrown - this
// will result in a "failed" security result being sent to the client
// with the str() from the exception being sent as the reason.  Any
// other type of failure should be indicated by some other kind of
// exception which will cause the connection to be aborted.
//
// processMsg() must never block (or at least must never block until the client
// has been authenticated) - this is to prevent denial of service attacks.
// Note that the first time processMsg() is called, there is no guarantee that
// there is any data to read from the SConnection's InStream, but subsequent
// calls guarantee there is at least one byte which can be read without
// blocking.
//
// getType() should return the secType value corresponding to the SSecurity
// implementation.
