Review by Billy Barron

"Securing Java: Getting Down to Business with Mobile Code now" (Wiley Computer Publishing; ISBN 0-471-31952-X) by McGraw and Felten is a book covering Java Security. This book is wonderfully written and full of good information.

It covers all aspects of Java security from known bugs to the sandbox to the Java Card API and everything in between. The authors are well known security analysts and give you the straight dope on Java security (good and bad).

The book is incredibly well researched and extremely accurate. On top of that the writing is excellent and won't put you to sleep as many security tomes will.

This book is useful for anyone from novice users to managers to Java Programmers who are concerned about security. Anyone who is involved with or concerned about Java security should buy this book as it will provide them with the information that they need.
