Security Articles and References

Trust-based security for Java is a cross-platform security model that provides fine-grained administration of the permissions granted to Java applets and libraries. This security system provides intermediate levels of trust so that Java applications can be given some additional permissions without being offered unlimited access to every permission in the system.
