Is there more information on the security issues of java, besides the
paper "HotJava: The Security Story"?
How much security is built into the Java interpreter and how much is
left to a "java enabled browser" (such as HotJava or soon Netscape).
Which is responsible for what?
The things I'm interested in are what access to the local disk does a
Java Applet have? Can a Java Applet execute local programs?
Is the HotJava browser code and the Java Interpreter code the best place
to look for detailed answers? If there is a doc I missed with security
details plese let me know....I've read quite a few docs lately and may
have just overlooked it...etc.
.....thanks.....larry
