Java Features -- It's (Hopefully) Secure
Java Features -- It's (Hopefully) Secure
- Java binaries are shipped across the network and executed on client machines. Security is therefore a critical issue and strongly enforced in Java.
- Java contains its own networking classes which are designed to be secure
- Modifications of the C++ model such as eliminating pointer arithmetic and coercion were dictated mainly by the security requirements.
- Most viruses are based on acquiring access to private/protected sectors of computer memory which is impossible in Java.
