Authentication is required on all interactions between a user proxy and a resource proxy. A process may authenticate itself to another process. No other authentication is required. |
All authentication is mutual. |
A user proxy can interact with resource proxies on behalf of a user, and with the same privileges; but this power is granted only for a limited time. In other words, if a resource proxy trusts a user, it will also trust a user proxy for that user. |
Mutual trust exists between resource proxies associated with the same resource. |
