Java And Internet Security

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.

Do you know where browser is pointing?. The Java security model. Serious holes in the security model. Malicious applets. Antidotes and guidelines for Java users. Tomorrow's Java security. Java security. Cert alerts. References. Index.

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.

Large-scale open distributed systems provide an infrastructure for assembling global applications on the basis of software and hardware components originating from multiple sources. Open systems rely on publicly available standards to permit heterogeneous components to interact. The Internet is the archetype of a large-scale open distributed system; standards such as HTTP, HTML, and XML, together with the widespread adoption of the Java language, are the cornerstones of many distributed systems. This book surveys security in large-scale open distributed systems by presenting several classic papers and a variety of carefully reviewed contributions giving the results of new research and development. Part I provides background requirements and deals with fundamental issues in trust, programming, and mobile computations in large-scale open distributed systems. Part II contains descriptions of general concepts, and Part III presents papers detailing implementations of security concepts.

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

As Java emerges as the standard platform for Internet programming, the ability to securely move its code around is imperative for application security in large-scale e-commerce and e-business sites - many of which have suffered a recent spate of hacker attacks. Security is one of the key features of the Java language architecture, giving its users confidence in downloading code across networks.

Most security books on Java focus on cryptography and access control, but exclude key aspects such as coding practices, logging, and web application risk assessment. Encapsulating security requirements for web development with the Java programming platform, Secure Java: For Web Application Development covers secure programming, risk assessment, and

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.

This book is a comprehensive presentation of embedded Java security. It is compared with the security model of the Java 2 Standard Edition in order to view the impact of limited resources on security. No other book specifically addresses the topic of embedded Java security. Furthermore, the book provides hints and suggestions as ways for hardening security, and offers researchers and practitioners alike a broader and deeper understanding of the issues involved in embedded Java security, and – as a larger view - mobile devices security. The author is a well-known authority and expert in mobile computing and embedded devices.
