Massimo,
Well, I'll know what I think soon (hopefully). I bought two books on Java
today in the hopes of having the time to read them over soon!
But just a general rule: Any program that is written to interact with
the web (perl, shell, C, Java, whatever) introduces the possibility of
"code exploitation". My advice is to be very carefull with writing your
applets, keeping an eye out for an exploit as you write. Then, make them
public (post them or whatever) so that they can undergo a peer review.
Most probably, the input of others will make them better in more apsects
than security.
Regards,
Kyle Amon
