module MCollective
# Security is implimented using a module structure and installations
# can configure which module they want to use.
#
# Security modules deal with various aspects of authentication and authorization:
#
# - Determines if a filter excludes this host from dealing with a request
# - Serialization and Deserialization of messages
# - Validation of messages against keys, certificates or whatever the class choose to impliment
# - Encoding and Decoding of messages
#
# To impliment a new security class using SSL for example you would inherit from the base
# class and only impliment:
#
# - decodemsg
# - encodereply
# - encoderequest
# - validrequest?
#
# Each of these methods should increment various stats counters, see the default MCollective::Security::Psk module for examples of this
#
# Filtering can be extended by providing a new validate_filter? method.
