Description
WhereasJava brings functionality and versatility to the world of mobiledevices, at the same time it also introduces new security threats.The rapid growth of the number of mobile devices that support Javamakes this a pressing issue. Embedded Java Security carefullyexamines the security aspects of Java and offers a securityevaluation for the Java platform. After explaining backgroundmaterial on the architecture of embedded platforms and relating toits role in security, the book deconstructs the security model intoits main components: It explains each component and relates it to theaim of securing the applications and the device. Toward this end,several implementations of the Java platform are examined and testedto relate the model to its actual implementation on devices. Thesecurity holes found are further used to clarify security issues andpoint out common errors. Finally, the book provides an evaluation ofembedded Java security that includes security models and securitytests performed on real-life implementations.
