I'm psyched about this thread. Rock on guys. For those of you who may need some basics, you might want to read Securing Java (a book I wrote with Ed Felten in 1999...the first edition in 1996 was called Java Security). The book is available completely for free in searchable format at http://www.securingjava.com I bring this up, because many of the terms being properly bandied about in this thread are carefully described there. Types, type confusion, the security model, the role of the verifier, why you can't trust byte code...etc. Happy history. I am feeling rather old. gem www.cigital.com/~gem www.swsec.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This electronic message transmission contains information that may be confidential or privileged.
