Chapter 2. Security fundamentals

This chapter is a short introduction to security. It discusses security in a very general form, so as to establish a common understanding of the topic.

Very basic security terms and definitions are covered in this chapter, independently of the rest of the book. Although you will not find any information on application server security or J2EE security in this chapter, it is still a good start and a good reference for later discussions.
