Technology Stack
Like most technologies, the security technology can be viewed as a stack of technology layers where a higher-level layer depends on or makes use of lower-level layers. Let us begin our recap at the bottom of this stack.
Part 2 of the book explored the Java support for basic cryptographic services framework, service-specific API classes, PKI entities and the associated APIs, tools to handle these entities, access control mechanisms, and transport-layer security with SSL and XML standards for signature and encryption. These abstractions and APIs form the building blocks of the Java platform security and are used in higher-level services.
Cryptographic services fall under two categories: services that represent cryptographic operations ...
