It is the implementer side equivalent of an Application programming interface API a set of hooks that can or must be overridden. From Java official documentation A service is a well known set of interfaces and usually abstract classes. A serviceprovider is a specific implementation of a service. The classes in a provider typically implement the interfaces and subclass the classes defined in the service itself. Service providers can be installed in an implementation of the Java platform in the form of extensions, that is, jar files placed into any of the usual extension directories. Providers can also be made available by adding them to the application s class path or by some other platform specific means. The concept can be easily extended to any other platform using the corresponding tools.

Unreferenced date February 2009 A Credential ServiceProvider CSP is an element of an authentication system, most typically identified as a separate entity in a Federated authentication system. In any authentication system, some entity is required to authenticate the user on behalf of the target software applicationapplication or service. For many years there was poor understanding of the impact of computer security security and the multiplicity of services and applications that would ultimately require authentication. Therefore many services and applications were built embedding the CSP function. The result of this is that not only are users burdened with many credential s that they must remember or carry around with them, but also applications and services must perform some level of registration and then some level of authentication of those users. A CSP decouples those functions from the application or service and typically provides trust to that application or service over a network such as the Internet . The term CSP is used frequently in the context of the Federal government of the United States US government s EGovernment eGov and eauthentication initiatives. An example of a CSP would be an online site whose primary purpose may be, for example, internet banking but whose users may be subsequently authenticated to other sites, applications or services without further action on their part.
