/**
 * Represents a security configuration to be used for channels. There is no generic mechanism for
 * processing arbitrary {@code ChannelCredentials}; the consumer of the credential (the channel)
 * must support each implementation explicitly and separately. Consumers are not required to support
 * all types or even all possible configurations for types that are partially supported, but they
 * must at least fully support {@link ChoiceChannelCredentials}.
 *
 * A {@code ChannelCredential} provides client identity and authenticates the server. This is
 * different from {@link CallCredentials}, which only provides client identity. They can also
 * influence types of encryption used and similar security configuration.
 *
 * The concrete credential type should not be relevant to most users of the API and may be an
 * implementation decision. Users should generally use the {@code ChannelCredentials} type for
 * variables instead of the concrete type. Freshly-constructed credentials should be returned as
 * {@code ChannelCredentials} instead of a concrete type to encourage this pattern. Concrete types
 * would only be used after {@code instanceof} checks (which must consider
 * {@code ChoiceChannelCredentials}!).
