Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class java.security.ProtectionDomain

Synopsis

A protection domain encapsulates the location from which a class was loaded and the keys used to sign the class (that is, a CodeSource object) and the set of permissions that should be granted to that class. These protection domains are consulted by the access controller to determine if a particular operation should succeed; if the operation is in the set of permissions in each protection domain on the stack, then the operation will succeed. This class is typically only used within a class loader.
