Security Under .NET


This paper presents the different aspects of security under .NET. We will start by discussing the Code Access Security (CAS). The CAS technology allows measuring the level of trust that we can have on an assembly by verifying its source and ensuring it was not tampered with. We will then see how to measure the degree of trust that we can have in a user. The notion of user is implemented at several levels (Windows, ASP.NET, COM+...). Finally, we will discuss the various cryptographic mechanisms that the framework offers us.

Comparing Java and .NET Security: Lessons Learned and Missed (Only4Gurus.com)


Many systems execute untrusted programs in virtual machines (VMs) to limit their access to system resources. Sun introduced the Java VM in 1995, primarily intended as a lightweight platform for execution of untrusted code inside web pages. More recently, Microsoft developed the .NET platform with similar goals. Both platforms share many design and implementation properties, but there are key differences between Java and .NET that have an impact on their security. This paper examines how .NET\'s design avoids vulnerabilities and limitations discovered in Java and discusses lessons learned (and missed) from experience with Java security.
