Abstract

This paper explores the problem of protecting a site on the Internet against hostile external Java applets while allowing trusted internal applets to run. With careful implementation, a site can be made resistant to current Java sercurity weaknesses as well as those yet discovered. In addition, we describe a new attack on certain sophisticated firewalls that is most effectively realized as a Java applet.
