  +--ajanta.util.CompleteTicket

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class CompleteTicket

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

The CompleteTicket class represents a type of capability required by clients to invoke services which require authentication. It contains the ticket holder's name (URN) along with its signature on a nonce, i.e. a challenge which was previously sent to it by the service. It can optionally contain anothe nonce of its own, which challenges the service to prove its identity. It takes care of the Lowe's attack that is possible on the Needham-Schroeder protocol.
