Rather than focusing on how a Java system can be broken, the authors show managers, network administrators, developers, and security professionals how Java can be made secure and how to exploit its strengths. Topics include the pros and cons of each Java security alternative; architectural techniques for maximizing security; securing Web and intranet applications; deploying or limiting Java across firewalls; integrating Java and SSL; and using Java's Cryptography APIs. The disk contains source code and links to Java security Web sites. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
