/**
* This interface describes functionality provided by secure preferences. Secure
* preferences can be used to persist sensitive information in an encrypted form.
*
* Logically, secure preferences combine functionality of a keyring (keystore) and
* {@link org.osgi.service.prefs.Preferences}.
*
* For an excellent detailed description of the preferences functionality see
* {@link org.osgi.service.prefs.Preferences}. To recap in a short form, preferences
* provide a tree. Nodes on that tree can be used to specify context. For instance,
* root node could have a child node called "cvs" to store information related to CVS
* integration.
*
* Each node can have a map of keys with associated values. For instance, to store
* password for the CVS repository located on eclipse.org we could use the following
* code:
*
*
* ISecurePreferences root = SecurePreferencesFactory.getDefault();
* ISecurePreferences node = root.node("cvs/eclipse.org");
* node.put("password", myPassword, true);
*
*
* This interface has the following differences from the {@link org.osgi.service.prefs.Preferences}:
*
* - get...() and put...() methods throw StorageException
* - put...() methods have an extra argument bEncrypt
* - Methods that used to throw BackingStoreException will be throwing more detailed StorageException
* - Navigation on preferences tree will return ISecurePreferences, as opposing to Preferences
* - flush() throws IOException
* - sync() method is removed
*
*
* On the keyring side, when adding a key to the node, you can ask framework to encrypt it. Framework
* will lazily acquire password from password provider and use it to encrypt all new entries added
* to the secure preferences tree in this session.
*
* It is worthwhile to reiterate that same limitations as {@link org.osgi.service.prefs.Preferences}
* apply to the node names. One non-trivial limitation is that node names can not contain forward
* slashes. For convenience, utility methods {@link EncodingUtils#encodeSlashes(String)} and
* {@link EncodingUtils#decodeSlashes(String)} are provided to work around this limitation.
*
* Also note that secure preferences only intended to store relatively small size data, such as
* passwords. If you need to securely store large objects, consider encrypting such objects in
* a symmetric way using randomly generated password and use secure preferences to store the password.
*
* If secure preferences were modified, the framework will automatically save them on shutdown.
*
* This interface is not intended to be implemented or extended by clients.
*
* @noextend This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.
* @noimplement This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
