A principal is an accountable entity. A principal may be
a user. On some computer systems, users are represented by their
respective UID. A process may also be a principal. However, a
principal may span multiple processes (a web request that causes
a CGI script to be invoked) or a principal may contain a number
of separate principals (a web server serves multiple requests,
each request represents a different principal).
