<P>
<p>
 This interface represents an abstract challenge-response oriented 
 authentication scheme.
 </p>
 <p>
 An authentication scheme should be able to support the following
 functions:
 <ul>
   <li>Parse and process the challenge sent by the targer server
       in response to request for a protected resource
   <li>Provide its textual designation
   <li>Provide its parameters, if available
   <li>Provide the realm this authentication scheme is applicable to,
       if available
   <li>Generate authorization string for the given set of credentials,
       request method and URI as specificed in the HTTP request line
       in response to the actual authorization challenge
 </ul>
 </p>
 <p>
 Authentication schemes may ignore method name and URI parameters
 if they are not relevant for the given authentication mechanism
 </p>
 <p>
 Authentication schemes may be stateful involving a series of 
 challenge-response exchanges
 </p>
