The term security has many views. If you are talking about client side security (Final Applet User), all applets at client side are secure as follows :
i) Any applet by default cann't access the system resources, it has to reside in the browser's memory. ii) If that applet need any system resources, it need to beg the browser and operating system (indirectly) for the resources by proving itself secure using Digital Certificates (These digital signature(Ds)s need to be buyed, both client side DS and server-side DS, from an authority, like Verisign etc.) Note: Whether you are using a JSP, servlet, or pure HTML in the Server-side doesn't matter at client side, because you finally end up with applets, inside HTML Document, which is again inside a browser. If you're talking about serverside security, it is simply a class file , or a class file inside a archive (jar, war, etc). So all the security is applicable to the applets like normal class files. Final note: Java is secure in the sense that, it is harmless to the users. It can be a victim by other programs. This is what the security in Java. Thank you for your cooperation. -- Jeevan (G1).
