SSPI stands Security Support Provider Interface. Just read the following: Secure network communication generally follows a common pattern, where two parties, often strangers to one another, introduce themselves electronically over the network. For illustration, I'll call these two strangers Alice and Bob. Just like in real life, this introduction of Alice and Bob generally requires the participation of a trusted third party. This third party is known as an authority—I'll call him Trent. (The names I use here are culled from Bruce Schneier's inspiring book, Applied Cryptography.) After the introductory handshake, Alice and Bob receive an indication of who the other party purports to be, and if the handshake is successful, Alice and Bob develop trust in each other's identity.
