The {@link AuthenticationHandler} is part of the security provider and needs to be registered as an OSGi servide. Client may implement this interface to perform user authentication and to define an authentication scheme. These values will be used later on in a {@link SecurityContext} that is used by the framework to verify authentication.
An {@link AuthenticationHandler} may be used together with an {@link AuthorizationHandler}.
