| Abstract: | JAVA is claimed to be a programming language that introduces new methods for platform?independent development and remote execution. However, the ability to download, integrate, and execute code from a remote computer raises serious concerns about JAVA's effect on network security. In this paper, a brief introduction to the JAVA programming language is given, the potential security risks of downloadable executable content is discussed, the details of the proposed JAVA security mechanism are presented, and an evaluation of the current implementations is discussed. Finally, proposed enhancements and upcoming extensions to the security model are described. |
