Defined in:

lib/nanite/security_provider.rb

Overview

This class is used to interface the nanite mapper with an external security module. There are two points of integration:

1. When an agent registers with a mapper
2. When an agent sends a request to another agent

In both these cases the security module is called back and can deny the operation. Note: it’s the responsability of the module to do any logging or notification that is required.
