CDSA

  Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA)

  CDSA is a multiplatform, industry standard security infrastructure.  It
  provides a standards-based, stable programming interface that applications
  can use to access operating system security services,  allowing developers
  to create cross-platform, security-enabled applications. Applications
  request security services, such as cryptography and other public key
  operations, through a dynamically extensible application programming
  interface (API).  These requests are serviced by a set of plug-in security
  service modules (SPIs), which  can be supplemented or changed as business
  needs and   technologies evolve.

  The heart of CDSA is the Common Security Services Manager (CSSM), which
  defines both the application API and the service provider interface (SPI)
  for plug-in security service modules. CSSM includes a set  of core
  services that are common  to all categories of security services,
  performing such functions as integrity verification and authentication.

  Available types of plug-in modules include cryptographic services (CSP),
  certificate library (CL), data library (DL), trust policy (TP) and
  authorization computation (AC). CSSM is extensible.

  Applications call functions in the CSSM API, which is fully specified by
  the CDSA technical standard located at
  http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009609799/. API function names are
  prefaced with CSSM_ and sometimes followed by  the designation of the
  module that will actually handle the request. For instance, an application
  calls CSSM_DL_DbOpen() to direct a DL module to open a data  store. The
  associated service provider interface (SPI) for the module would be
  DL_DbOpen().

  An application begins by initializing its connection to CSSM using the
  CSSM_Init() routine. It might use Module Directory Services (MDS) to query
  for available  modules  and their supported functionality, or it might
  hardcode to a particular module's global unique identifier (GUID).  The
  application loads the desired module using the CSSM_ModuleLoad() routine
  and then attaches to it using the CSSM_ModuleAttach() routine.
