Java Security, 2nd Edition

Summary

The differences in the security models of Java 1.1 and Java 2 mean that running a security application in Java 1.1 requires a lot more work on the part of developers. The secure container we’ve created here allows you to run secure applications in Java 1.1 (and Java 2, for that matter); it follows the seeds of the security enhancements that are present in Java 2. However, it also serves as a good outline for a Java 2 container when you need to set new security managers or policies for programs you want to run.
