IRM enforcement of Java stack inspection
Úlfar Erlingsson, F.B. Schneider · 2002
Two implementations are given for Java's stack inspection access-control policy. Each implementation is obtained by generating an inlined reference monitor (IRM) for a different formulation of the policy. Performance of the implementations is evaluated, and one is found to be competitive with Java's less flexible, JVM-resident implementation. The exercise illustrates the power of the IRM approach for enforcing security policies.
