  <dd>
     The introduction of Java applets has taken the World Wide Web by
      storm.  Information servers can customize the presentation of their
      content with server-supplied code which executes inside the Web
      browser.  We examine the Java language and both the HotJava and
      Netscape browsers which support it, and find a significant
      number of flaws which compromise their security.  These flaws arise for
      several reasons, including implementation errors, unintended
      interactions between browser features, differences between the Java
      language and bytecode semantics, and weaknesses in the design of the
      language and the bytecode format.  On a deeper level, these flaws arise
      because of weaknesses in the design methodology used in creating Java
      and the browsers.  In addition to the flaws, we discuss the underlying
      tension between the openness desired by Web application writers and the
      security needs of their users, and we suggest how both might be
      accommodated.
