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.
