    Subject: will protection domains prevent resource denial attacks

    From: Dan Lambright <dlambright@opengroup.org>

It is unclear from the literature I have found on future
directions of security in Java (Li Gong's COMPCON paper
and Java-1 slides,) wether the protection domains are
intended to prevent resouce denial.
In other words, could the protection domains planed
preclude an applet from stealing the CPU or memory from
other applets? If not, how is/will resource denial be addressed?

We are investigating Java as the mobile code solution
for Active Networks in the systems research arm of
the Open Group (this decision may impact future network
standardization for programmable routers.)

Thanks,
Dan Lambright
