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 implemnetation, a site can be made resistant to current JAVA
security weaknesses as well as those yet to be discovered. In addtion, we
describe a new attack on certain sophisticated firewalls that is most
efeectively realized as a JAVA applet.
