Java Network Security

Learn how to use Java reliably, securely, and safely!

Unlike other books, which focus on how Java can be broken, this one focuses on delivering practical help with Java security to everyone involved in building and deploying industrial-strength Java-based applications.

Now that Java is "leaving the sandbox," you need stronger security than ever, and Java 2 Network Security, Second Edition shows you how to get it.

One of the first books to cover the new Java 2 network security model that has been written in full cooperation with Sun's own developers, it compares the pros and cons of every leading approach to Java security.

You'll review specific techniques for deploying or limiting Java across corporate firewalls; discover how to integrate Java and SSL; master Java's powerful Cryptography APIs; and learn how to architect your applications to improve their inherent security.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains all programs included in the book, plus shareware designed to help readers develop more secure Java programs and more thoroughly understand the new Java 2 security model.
