Java 2 Network Security

This authoritative Java security book is written by the architect of the Java security model. It chronicles J2EE v1.4 security model enhancements that will allow developers to build safer, more reliable, and more impenetrable programs.

One of Java's most striking claims is that it provides a secure programming environment. Yet despite endless discussion, few people understand precisely what Java's claims mean and how it backs up those claims. If you're a developer, network administrator or anyone else who must understand or work with Java's security mechanisms, Java Security is the in-depth exploration you need.Java Security, 2nd Edition, focuses on the basic platform features of Java that provide security--the class loader, the bytecode verifier, and the security manager--and recent additions to Java that enhance this security model: digital signatures, security providers, and the access controller. The book covers the security model of Java 2, Version 1.3, which is significantly different from that of Java 1.1. It has extensive coverage of the two new important security APIs: JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) and JSSE (Java Secure Sockets Extension). Java Security, 2nd Edition, will give you a clear understanding of the architecture of Java's security model and how to use that model in both programming and administration.The book is intended primarily for programmers who want to write secure Java applications. However, it is also an excellent resource for system and network administrators who are interested in Java security, particularly those who are interested in assessing the risk of using Java and need to understand how the security model works in order to assess whether or not Java meets their security needs.

This is a practical guide to building a secure enterprise infrastructure with J2SE and J2EE technologies. This text explains how J2SE and J2EE security architectures relate to each other, and also covers the security aspects of servlets, JSP and EJB.

This document reviews security features of two most popular modern development platforms--Java and .NET (Java v1.4.2/J2EE v1.4 and .NET v1.1). The platform choice is not random, because they represent, to a certain extent, competition between UNIX-like and Windows systems, which largely defined software evolution over the last decade. Although Java applications run on Windows, and there exist UNIX bridges for .NET, the Java/UNIX and .NET/Windows combinations are used for development of a significant portion (if not majority) of applications on their respective operating systems, so both platforms deserve a careful examination of their capabilities.Such an examination is especially important since different aspects of UNIX/Windows and Java/.NET competition have been flaming endless heated debates between proponents of both camps, which often blindly deny merits of the opposite side while at the same time praising their preferred solution. The material here is purposely structured by general categories of protection mechanism and reviewing each platform$B!G(Bs features in those areas. This allows starting each topic with a platform-neutral security concept and performing relatively deep drill-downs for each technology without losing track of the overall focus of providing an unbiased side-by-side comparison.The document is based on the research material that was used as a foundation of the feature article, "Securing .NET and Enterprise Java: Side by Side", which was written by Vincent Dovydaitis and myself and appeared in Numbers 3-4 of Computer Security Journal in 2002. The following areas will be considered: Security Configuration and Code Containment Cryptography and Communication Code Protection and Code Access Security, or CAS Authentication and User Access Security, or UAS

Welcome to exciting realm of Java and Internet Security. Whether you are new to security or a guru, these pages offer introductory and advanced discussions of the hottest security technologies for developing and understanding successful e-business applications. This book offers several complimentary sections for easy reading and includes a generous helping of code samples. We introduce you to the Java 2 security model and its numerous objects and dive into explaining and exploiting cryptography in your applications. This book also includes an in-depth explanation of public keys, digital signatures, and the use of these security objects in Internet messaging and Java programs. We also cover other security topics including the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Java Authentication and Authorization Services (JAAS), and Kerberos.

Elevate your Java security skills for the modern cloud era KEY FEATURES ● Understanding Zero-Trust security model for Java. ● Practical cloud security strategies for developers. ● Hands-on guidance for secure Java application development. DESCRIPTION This book offers a comprehensive guide to implementing Zero-Trust security principles, cloud-based defenses, and robust application development practices. Through practical examples and expert advice, readers will gain the skills needed to design and develop secure Java applications that easily can tackle today's cyber threats. It builds focus on securing your source code through analysis, vulnerability detection, and automation. It also ensures the safety of your runtime environment for managing traffic and enables multi-factor authentication. While addressing data security concerns with encryption, anonymization, and cloud-based solutions, it also uses tools like OpenTelemetry for real-time threat detection. It manages sensitive information securely with Vault integration and explores passwordless authentication. Reference architectures, secure coding patterns, and automation practices are also provided to aid implementation. By the end of this book, you'll be well-equipped to build secure Java applications with confidence and deliver applications that are robust, reliable, and compliant. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Implement Zero-Trust principles in Java applications. ● Secure Java apps in cloud environments like AWS, GCP, and Azure. ● Develop applications with security best practices from the ground up. ● Understand and mitigate common security vulnerabilities in Java. ● Apply modern security tools and techniques in Java development.
