Describe how a simple Java program can run on multiple computer platforms. Why might this be an advantage? Why might this be a disadvantage?

Java is a cross-platform, language meaning it can be able to run in any computer platform. Java can run directly on any platform without manual intervention because it is written in pre-compiled portable byte code whereby interpreters or runtime packages are standard elements of all computer platforms. As far as java is concerned it is just the software environment where it runs and java platform has two components: the Java Virtual Machine and the Application Programming Interface. ...

Abstract

Security in computing systems is an important requirement of present day technology as connectivity and data-sharing is increasing day by day. One of the best solutions to increase security is to work on operating system security mechanisms. Operating system security can be achieved through the use of mandatory security policy and trusted path allowing the safe access to users’ data with the help of proper authentication and cryptographic techniques. Mandatory security policy and the use of trusted path could also help in reducing or eliminating the activity of malicious software or users. Some of the widely accepted security solutions ...

Java’s popularity and portability have brought about detrimental attention from the cracking community (Websense 2) requiring research to plug loopholes. Different versions of Java Runtime Environments (JRE) are under attack. Despite efforts by Sun microsystems, and now, Oracle to patch the holes, vulnerabilities are still present albeit unpublished. The result is that Java based programs are increasingly targeted in systems running Windows operating systems (Oremus) Macintosh Systems with old versions of Java are also prone to attacks. Websense security Labs found that unpatched Java encourages exploits (3). The study targeted 900 million endpoints in their intelligence cloud. ...

Web Application Security

1. WebGoat Webgoat is a project designed and maintained by the Open Wide Application Security Project (OWASP) organization. It is a deliberately insecure web application designed to demonstrate the possible security flaws that can exist in a web application and the significance of testing and protecting the applications against such flaws. It thus provides a testing platform to assess the security of a web application. The testing is done in the Black Box method of testing, and though the source code of the web application is not available, it can be downloaded and viewed.

Access control is a mechanism that is used to control the access of users to a certain resource. There are various levels of controlling access to a resource in information systems. One of the methods is to control access at the operating systems level. The other access control levels are client/server access control, and web-based service oriented architecture access control. In the operating system access control, one example is the use of JVM Sandbox mechanism. This is the access control that enables users to be able to download the Java Applets without having to be worried about the execution code that ...

Explain why you believe the project managers elected to go to a system that was 100% Java. The SEI project required the capability to programmatically extract digital keys and digital certificates form a Netscape communicator v4.5 database (Huy, Lewis, & Lui, 2011). However, following the limitations of the programmatic library called Netscape Database Keystore (NDBS 1.0), SEI project decided to seek for more advanced option (Huy, Lewis, & Lui, 2011). The limitations of the Netscape Database Keystore included the platform dependency since it was written in interfaces and Java with C code using the Java Native Interface (JNI) and its inability to ...

Introduction

Ever since man discovered that wood could float in water, he has endeavored to build sophisticated vessels that would make sea travel as safe as possible. However, numerous centuries of innovation have not produced an entirely fool proof vessel. A total conquest of the sea is far from near. It is noteworthy to note in the same breath that sea transport is getting safer and faster, when contrasted against the situation within the last few decades (Abulafia). The pursuit for continual improvement in maritime transport has been sustained by the unending pace of globalization. While there has been a tremendous ...

Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a framework for system design. This framework looks at all datastructures within the system as objects. These objects have attributes that define the object. Methods are used to manipulate data within these objects. Entities are external storages and human users of the system. An entity relationship model is a model that contains objects, methods and entities and their interactions with one another. Contemporary programmers use the OOP framework to design automated systems (docs.oracle.com). In this paper, we examine two key concepts of OOP and present a sample algorithm using OOP concepts. Deborah J. Armstrong proposed some ...

Application patterns

A design pattern can be defined as a general reusable solution to a common repeating problem in software design. It basically refers to a rough draft or a template of how a problem will be solved under many different solutions. Object-oriented design solutions depict the relationship between classes and objects without specifying the final application classes or objects that are involved. In this way, algorithms are not taken as design patterns because they solve computational problems rather than design problems. Design patterns are specifically concerned with the design problems at the level of software design, and as such, not all software patterns are ...

Compare 3 UML Modeling Tools

Introduction The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual language used for constructing, specifying and documenting artifacts of software-intensive systems (Baar, 32; Gollola & Cris, 46). Software designs that are difficult to describe in text alone can be conveyed through diagrams using UML. The modeling provides the benefits of validation, clear communication and visualization (Hiremath 447; Huang, 68). Examples of UML modeling case tools include ArgoUML, Astah, casecomplete, Artisan Studio among many others. We should use UML case modeling tools because of the following reasons; UML is the most commonly standard notation for software design and many people designers are ...
