Chapter 23. Introduction to Security in the Java EE Platform
The chapters in Part VII discuss security requirements in web tier and enterprise tier applications. Every enterprise that has either sensitive resources that can be accessed by many users or resources that traverse unprotected, open, networks, such as the Internet, needs to be protected.
This chapter introduces basic security concepts and security mechanisms. More information on these concepts and mechanisms can be found in the chapter on security in the Java EE 6 specification. This document is available for download online at http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=316.
