Security, including Java security, is now one of the highest priorities for IT!!-- Master Java security through a book-length, real-world application that includes quality code.-- Includes detailed coverage of the new JSSE and JAAS packages, and the SASL authentication specification.-- Helps developers move beyond just a basic understanding, to actually using it in the workplace.Most Java security books focus primarily on the details of architecture, APIs, and cryptography. In contrast, Java Security in Action uses a book-length case study to show exactly how to make Java security work in a real-world application. Reading this book will enable Java developers to master and apply Java security far more rapidly. This book shows how to make the most of the new JSSE and JAAS security packages provided with the latest versions of Java, in combination with Cryptix' robust, open-source cryptographic software libraries for authentication. Ward Harold begins with an overview of security, reviewing common attacks and threat analysis, trust decisions, security best practices, and other key issues. After introducing the full spectrum of Java security mechanisms, he introduces the Simple File Exchange Protocol (SFXP), and walks through securing file exchange with, Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS), and the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL).
