Interface Summary
Interface	Description
AfterInvocationManager	Reviews the `Object` returned from a secure object invocation, being able to modify the `Object` or throw an `AccessDeniedException`.
RunAsManager	Creates a new temporary `Authentication` object for the current secure object invocation only.

Class Summary
Class	Description
AbstractSecurityInterceptor	Abstract class that implements security interception for secure objects.
AfterInvocationProviderManager	Provider-based implementation of `AfterInvocationManager`.
InterceptorStatusToken	A return object received by `AbstractSecurityInterceptor` subclasses.
MethodInvocationPrivilegeEvaluator	Allows users to determine whether they have "before invocation" privileges for a given method invocation.
RunAsImplAuthenticationProvider	An `AuthenticationProvider` implementation that can authenticate a `RunAsUserToken`.
RunAsManagerImpl	Basic concrete implementation of a `RunAsManager`.

Package org.springframework.security.access.intercept Description

Abstract level security interception classes which are responsible for enforcing the configured security constraints for a secure object.

A secure object is a term frequently used throughout the security system. It does not refer to a business object that is being secured, but instead refers to some infrastructure object that can have security facilities provided for it by Spring Security. For example, one secure object would be MethodInvocation, whilst another would be HTTP FilterInvocation. Note these are infrastructure objects and their design allows them to represent a large variety of actual resources that might need to be secured, such as business objects or HTTP request URLs.

Each secure object typically has its own interceptor package. Each package usually includes a concrete security interceptor (which subclasses AbstractSecurityInterceptor) and an appropriate SecurityMetadataSource for the type of resources the secure object represents.
