public abstract class SecurityManager
extends Object
The security manager is an abstract class that allows
applications to implement a security policy. It allows an
application to determine, before performing a possibly unsafe or
sensitive operation, what the operation is and whether the
operation is being performed by a class created via a class loader
rather than installed locally. Classes loaded via a class loader
(especially if they have been downloaded over a network) may be
less trustworthy than classes from files installed locally. The
application can allow or disallow the operation.
The SecurityManager class contains many methods with
names that begin with the word check. These methods
are called by various methods in the Java libraries before those
methods perform certain potentially sensitive operations. The
invocation of such a check method typically looks like this:
SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
if (security != null) {
security.checkXXX(argument, . . . );
}
The security manager is thereby given an opportunity to prevent
completion of the operation by throwing an exception. A security
manager routine simply returns if the operation is permitted, but
throws a SecurityException if the operation is not
permitted. The only exception to this convention is
checkTopLevelWindow, which returns a
boolean value.
The current security manager is set by the
setSecurityManager method in class
System. The current security manager is obtained
by the getSecurityManager method.
The default implementation of each of the
checkXXX methods is to assume that the caller
does not have permission to perform the requested operation.

getSecurityContext
public Object getSecurityContext()
Creates an object that encapsulates the current execution
environment. The result of this method is used by the
three-argument checkConnect method and by the
two-argument checkRead method.
These methods are needed because a trusted method may be called
on to read a file or open a socket on behalf of another method.
The trusted method needs to determine if the other (possibly
untrusted) method would be allowed to perform the operation on its
own.
Returns:
an implementation-dependent object that encapsulates
sufficient information about the current execution environment
to perform some security checks later.
