Foil 153 Targets

From Remarks on Internet and Java Security Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Geoffrey Fox, Mehmet Sen


A target typically represents one or more system resources, such as reading files stored on a local disk or sending email on your behalf.
The Privilege Manager, with the aid of the Communicator client, keeps track of which principals are allowed to access which targets at any given time
The Privilege Manager enforces a distinction between granting a privilege and enabling a privilege. A script that has been granted a privilege has a potential power that is not yet turned on.
