Product Description
Product Description
"The book is of enormous consequence and potential value. The Java 2 Platform Security represents an advance of major proportions, and the information in this book is captured nowhere else." --Peter G. Neumann, Principal Scientist, SRI International Computer Science Lab, author of Computer-Related Risks, and Moderator of the Risks Forum "Profound! There are a large number of security pearls. I enjoyed and was very impressed by both the depth and breadth of the book." --Stephen Northcutt, Director of Research for Intrusion Detection and Response, SANS Institute Inside the Java 2 Platform Security is the definitive and comprehensive guide to the Java security platform. Written by the Chief Java Security Architect at Sun, it provides a detailed look into the central workings of the Java security architecture and describes security tools and techniques for successful implementation. This book features detailed descriptions of the many enhancements incorporated within the security architecture that underlies the Java 2 platform. It also provides a practical guide to the deployment of Java security, and shows how to customize, extend, and refine the core security architecture. For those new to the topic, the book includes an overview of computer and network security concepts and an explanation of the basic Java security model. You will find detailed discussions on such specific topics as: *The original Java sandbox security model *The new Java 2 Platform permission hierarchy *How Java security supports the secure loading of classes *Java 2 access control mechanisms *Policy configuration *Digital certificates *Security tools, including Key Store and Jar Signer *Secure Java programming techniques *Ways to customize the Java security architecture with new permission types *How to move legacy security code onto the Java 2 Platform In addition, the book discusses techniques for preserving object security--such as signing, sealing, and guarding objects--and outlines the Java cryptography architecture. Throughout, the book points out common mistakes and contains numerous code examples demonstrating the usage of classes and methods. With this complete and authoritative guide, you will gain a deeper understanding into how and why the Java security technology functions as it does, and will be better able to utilize its sophisticated security capabilities in the development of your applications. 0201310007B04062001

The author is surely great Java SA specialist however he has no teaching talant whatsoever. As a result the book is more philosophical then technical with no real life samples which makes it hard to understand. Despite all this I didn't see any better book on this subject.
Format:Paperback
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the Java Security Architecture.
As with all good security books, this one begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of computer and network security. For those new to Java security, there is also brief intro to security of the Java language and platform. The book quickly gets into the details of the new Security Architecture, with a detailed description of what is there, why it is there and how to use it. Sections on deploying and customizing the SA are of practical use to anyone in this situation. The book also contains a concise and useful discussion of object security and how to go about getting it. There is a detailed discussion of the Java Cryptography Architecture, a must if you plan on using the cryptographic functionality. The book concludes with a thought-provoking section on future directions. This book stands out because of the insightful discussions on why design decisions were made and the implications of these decisions. This makes the book interesting reading even if you aren't going to implement the SA in the immediate future. If you are planning on implementing the SA, don't do it without this book within grabbing distance.

This uninspired coverage of the Security API is a real disappointment considering that it comes from Sun. The Security API is not trivial and the 150 pages that cover Security API classes are not sufficient to provide the in-depth analysis needed to understand and manipulate the API. This book is a good overview of the Security API. There are some good general security discussions, and some historical perspectives on why the API is designed the way it is. I read this book after reading the O'Reilly security book which is much more thorough.
