Abstract

Security of e-applications running over Internet is a major requirement for their widespread use. As discussions in this panel often pointed it out, such kind of applications shows more and more a property of mobility: mobility of code, data, or even mobility of objects, termed agents. But how to enforce security of such mobile components? Is it at the programming language level, or could it be managed in a completely transparent way for the programmer ? Do we need domainspecific languages that we hope could be trusted or are general-purpose languages enough ? This panel gave some highlights on how adequate the object-oriented language technology could be; at which level of granularity security has to be designed and introduced into the application; why solutions differing from classical cryptography-based solutions are promising.
