C.3. Security References
Finally, here is a number of white papers and other references that
are of general interest:
-
http://java.sun.com/security/
-
This is the main index site for all security-related features of the
JDK. In particular, this page has links to security white papers, API
and tool documentation, security specifications, and more. This site
also has links to many of the other sites we've listed here.
-
http://java.sun.com/sfaq/
-
This is the Frequently Asked Questions page for Java security. This
page primarily addresses what applets can and cannot do.
-
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk1.2/docs/guide/security/security-spec.html
-
This document is the specification for the 1.2 Java security
architecture; it provided invaluable background for this book. When
you download the JDK 1.2 documentation, this document can be found at

Okay, it is not a web site, but this book is another invaluable
reference for details of all the cryptographic topics of this book
(Mr. Schneier's web site, for the library-impaired, is
http://www.counterpane.com/).
