go deeply in the java security

there are few books, which really explain deeply the security with all its issues. With the examples in this book, you can understand quickly how the SecurityManager and JVM work, how to write security policies. Cryptography, Firewalls, SSL and Java Plug-In are very good covered, too.

The greatest computer book - for every reader!

This is the greatest computer book I have ever read.The first three chapters of the book are an introduction to Java security, and they are very helpful to people who are new to Java security, just like me. The same concepts are covered later in the book in greater detail, so it may appear that there are some repetitions, but in reality the author informs you many times that if you are an expert, you should probably go directly to Chapter 4, and read the advanced topics.In fact, this is an advanced book. Nevertheless, you will not get lost even if you are a beginner. The author covers advanced topics with a very simple approach and even tells you how to perform the simplest operations. While this can be sometimes boring if you already know Java programming, I guess that basic information is always useful, especially if readers are not very familiar with the topic.In this book you will find the architecture of Java security as well as advanced topics such as cryptography, SSL, Java and firewalls, Netscape and IE Java security, Java plug-in, and many other things. There are many examples and screen captures that help a lot. The final result is that, after reading this book, you will feel like a Java security expert.There are some imperfections, but overall, this is a great book. If you are interested in Java security, buy this book. You satisfaction is guaranteed.

Keep reading and your satisfaction is guaranteed.

I have finished reading this book today from cover to cover. I have to write this review to recommend this great book. The best things of this book are tons of examples, figures, tables, and even screen shots. Every thing you need to know about Java security is fully covered in great details. This book is written by 5 authors, you will find that different authors talk about same topic in different chapters. This gives you chances to exam same topic from different author¡¦s point of view, helps you to fully understand some difficult topics. However, this book is not for beginners, they will easily get lost because this is a thick book with lots details, new terms and concepts.

Nice reference for Java 2 Security problems

This is a great book for people working on Java 2 to understand the Security issues involved. I recommend this for all Java 2 programmers. This will help them code as well as design their applications.

Clearly written and packed with information

This is an excellent book. I and everyone in my programming group at work are new to cryptology. Yet, after reading this book, I feel that we will be able to create a fully secure applet -- creating a trusted applet and making it work with encrypted communication between it and our server. The technical information is delivered clearly and concisely. But I also enjoyed the first couple of chapters which describe Java Security for the "intelligent non-specialist who does not need all the details." These chapters will be extremely useful for me when I explain to my bosses why we should use Java Security. I highly recommend this book.(No, I have no relationship to the author or the publisher. I am really just a satisfied reader).
