/**
 * Represents a security configuration to be used for servers. There is no generic mechanism for
 * processing arbitrary {@code ServerCredentials}; the consumer of the credential (the server)
 * 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 ChoiceServerCredentials}.
 *
 * 

A {@code ServerCredential} provides server 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 ServerCredentials} type for * variables instead of the concrete type. Freshly-constructed credentials should be returned as * {@code ServerCredentials} instead of a concrete type to encourage this pattern. Concrete types * would only be used after {@code instanceof} checks (which must consider * {@code ChoiceServerCredentials}!). */ public abstract class ServerCredentials {}
