Is Spring Security JAAS-based?

I've been doing some reading and I'm still not quite sure -- is Spring Security JAAS-based, or is it doing a thing of it's own? Could somebody please go into some more details and explain it to me, or maybe provide some useful links?

Thanks!

Spring Security works in application layer, JAAS is a more low level authentication method.

But you can use JAAS as a authentication provider to Spring Security. http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/3.1.7.RELEASE/reference/jaas.html
