10//! Security scheme types for A2A agent authentication.
11//!
12//! These types follow the security-scheme specification used by A2A v1.0,
13//! which is based on the OpenAPI 3.x security model.
14//! The root discriminated union is [`SecurityScheme`], tagged on the `"type"` field.
15//!
16//! [`NamedSecuritySchemes`] is a type alias, and [`SecurityRequirement`] is a
17//! struct used in [`crate::agent_card::AgentCard`] and
18//! [`crate::agent_card::AgentSkill`].
