The 2.0 version of Jini introduced a security model
for Jini services. All of the Jini service implementations
in the 2.0 version of the starter kit, including Outrigger
(our implementation of JavaSpaces), support this
new security model.  In the case of the services in
the starter kit the transport is pluggable, the
starter kit includes TCP, HTTP, TLS (aka SSL), HTTPS,
and Kerberos based transports.

Off the top of my head I don't know which of the
other spaces implementations have added support for
the Jini security model.

Hope this helps
