21 	 * This callback interface is used during a "keyboard-interactive"
22 	 * authentication. Every time the server sends a set of challenges (however,
23 	 * most often just one challenge at a time), this callback function will be
24 	 * called to give your application a chance to talk to the user and to
25 	 * determine the response(s).
26 	 * <p>
27 	 * Some copy-paste information from the standard: a command line interface
28 	 * (CLI) client SHOULD print the name and instruction (if non-empty), adding
29 	 * newlines. Then for each prompt in turn, the client SHOULD display the
30 	 * prompt and read the user input. The name and instruction fields MAY be
31 	 * empty strings, the client MUST be prepared to handle this correctly. The
32 	 * prompt field(s) MUST NOT be empty strings.
33 	 * <p>
34 	 * Please refer to draft-ietf-secsh-auth-kbdinteract-XX.txt for the details.
35 	 * <p>
36 	 * Note: clients SHOULD use control character filtering as discussed in
37 	 * RFC4251 to avoid attacks by including
38 	 * terminal control characters in the fields to be displayed.
39 	 *
40 	 * @param name
41 	 *            the name String sent by the server.
42 	 * @param instruction
43 	 *            the instruction String sent by the server.
44 	 * @param numPrompts
45 	 *            number of prompts - may be zero (in this case, you should just
46 	 *            return a String array of length zero).
47 	 * @param prompt
48 	 *            an array (length <code>numPrompts</code>) of Strings
49 	 * @param echo
50 	 *            an array (length <code>numPrompts</code>) of booleans. For
51 	 *            each prompt, the corresponding echo field indicates whether or
52 	 *            not the user input should be echoed as characters are typed.
53 	 * @return an array of reponses - the array size must match the parameter
54 	 *         <code>numPrompts</code>.
