/**
 * This interface represents an abstract challenge-response oriented
 * authentication scheme.
 * 

* An authentication scheme should be able to support the following * functions: *

    *
  • Parse and process the challenge sent by the target server * in response to request for a protected resource *
  • Provide its textual designation *
  • Provide its parameters, if available *
  • Provide the realm this authentication scheme is applicable to, * if available *
  • Generate authorization string for the given set of credentials * and the HTTP request in response to the authorization challenge. *
*

* Authentication schemes may be stateful involving a series of * challenge-response exchanges. *
