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