shiro中的principle怎么翻译

A principal in computer security is an entity that can be authenticated by a computer system or network. It is referred to as a security principal in Java and Microsoft literature

Principals can be individual people, computers, services, computational entities such as processes and threads, or any group of such things. They need to be identified and authenticated before they can be assigned rights and privileges over resources in the network. A principal typically has an associated identifier (such as a security identifier) that allows it to be referenced for identification or assignment of properties and permissions.

以上内容来自wiki. 总过仔细推敲，我觉得翻译为 “安全实体”比较好。

怎么感觉这方面汉语不行啊，就没有简洁的词汇能表达？ 要么“求权者”怎么样？
