# Class CIM_SharedSecretService
extends CIM_LocalCredentialManagementService

CIM_SharedSecretService is a service which ascertains whether messages received are from the Principal with whom a secret is shared. Examples include a login service that proves identity on the basis of knowledge of the shared secret, or a transport integrity service (like Kerberos provides) that includes a message authenticity code that proves each message in the messsage stream came from someone who knows the shared secret session key.
