Preface | Java Security Solutions

Welcome to Java Security Solutions , a book that explains security in general and Java security in particular. This book includes cryptography, algorithms, and architecture. It provides practical solutions to security problems and not only describes the different security technologies, but explains why the different technologies exist and why you should use them. The source code is done in Java and illustrates how security in Java works. This book also shows how to extend Java to provide a more secure organization. In this book, we wanted to show more than just how to use Java components. We also wanted to show how to extend them, explain the reasons why algorithms like RSA are important, and inform readers about the basic protocols. In short, we wanted to answer the what, when, how, and why of the Java components used in security solutions.

Why This Book?

Some of the specifications that we address in this book include J2EE, WebServices, CORBA, JAAS, RMI, JSSE, SKIP, SASL, GSS-API, IPSec, X.509 certificates, cryptography, RSA, Elliptical Curve Cryptography, DSS, DSA, Kerberos, LDAP, TLS, WTLS, message digests, key agreements, key management, java access, ciphers, firewalls, network security, PKI, and much more. This book helps you:
