abstract
Java language has many features that make it the right choice for the variety of programming tasks
from the server to palmtop. Java language has a level of strong, consistent and extensible security that
is sorely lacking in other languages. Java security was a key consideration in the development of the
language.
Java is primarily used for networking purpose. The developers knew that Java programs would
be exposed to a broad set of unknown users, presenting distinct security risks. A number of security
features were built into the language from the start, and these features have been augmented and
extended with each new release.
