java.lang.SecurityManager (JDK 1.0)

This abstract class defines the methods necessary to implement a security policy for the execution of untrusted code. Before performing potentially sensitive operations, Java calls methods of the SecurityManager object currently in effect to determine whether the operations are permitted. These methods throw a SecurityException if the operation is not permitted.

Normal applications do not need to use or subclass the SecurityManager class. It is typically only used by Web browsers, applet viewers, and other programs that need to run untrusted code in a controlled environment.
