Description

Whereas Java brings functionality and versatility to the world of mobile
devices, at the same time it also introduces new security threats. The rapid
growth of the number of mobile devices that support Java makes this a pressing
issue. Embedded Java Security carefully examines the security aspects
of Java and offers a security evaluation for the Java platform.

After explaining background material on the architecture of embedded
platforms and relating to its role in security, the book deconstructs the
security model into its main components: It explains each component and
relates it to the aim of securing the applications and the device. Toward this
end, several implementations of the Java platform are examined and tested to
relate the model to its actual implementation on devices. The security holes
found are further used to clarify security issues and point out common errors.
Finally, the book provides an evaluation of embedded Java security that
includes security models and security tests performed on real-life
implementations.
Topics and features:
• Presents the security model underlying Java ME
• Provides a vulnerability analysis of Java CLDL and a risk analysis
study of Java ME vulnerabilities
• Supplies an example of a protection profile for Java ME -
illustrated using the common criteria framework
• Discusses the most prominent standards that are relevant for Java ME
security
• Reports on areas of common vulnerabilities, and considers
specifications and programming mistakes
• Hints and suggestions are provided as ways for hardening
security

This invaluable volume provides researchers and practitioners with a
broader and deeper understanding of the issues involved in embedded Java
security, and, as a larger view, mobile-devices security. It can also serve as
an ancillary course text or helpful guide for self study in the
field.
