PROTECTING JAVA COMPONENT INTEGRITY AGAINST TROJAN HORSE PROGRAMS

摘要

We discuss how integrity of components of Java applications can be protected. Intrinsic and extrinsic protection mechanisms are employed. Capabilities of the Java application programming interface include permissions and signed JAR files. The strength of the methods depends on the operating system in which the Java virtual machine is embedded. Possible attacks by Trojan horse programs on component integrity are given and an approach to prevent or detect these is presented.
