Interface KernelIdentity

@Contract
public interface KernelIdentity

Represents the "kernel" identity.

For example, the kernel identity is useful for running commands using the command framework from trusted server code that does not have a previously-authenticated subject on whose behalf the work is being done.

It's safer to require such uses to specify the kernel identity rather than to assume that if no subject is specified to authorization then it should be treated as the kernel identity.
