Chapter 3. .NET Developer Platform Security Solutions

By Matthew Lyons

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Fundamental Security Benefits from the .NET Framework

• Mobile Code Solutions with the .NET Framework

• Networked Computing with the .NET Framework

So far, we have seen some security challenges for downloaded mobile code and for networked computing in general. We have provided some background on the .NET Framework. Now, let's examine how the .NET platform addresses these security challenges.

This chapter's structure is similar to that of the first chapter. First, we'll examine some fundamental security benefits provided by the .NET Framework. Second, we will look at how the .NET Framework can provide mobile code download solutions that offer advantages over the traditional methods. Finally, we'll consider how the .NET Framework addresses the security challenges of networked computing.
