Aspects and class-based security
Andreas Sewe, Christoph M. Bockisch, Mira Mezini · 2008
Various aspect-oriented languages, e.g., AspectJ, Aspect-Werkz, and JAsCo, have been proposed as extensions to one particular object-oriented base language, namely Java. But these extensions do not fully take the interactions with the Java 2 security model into account. In particular, the implementation technique of advice weaving gives rise to two security issues: the erroneous assignment of aspects to protection domains and the violation of namespace separation. Therefore, a comprehensive discussion of the design choices available with respect to interactions with the dynamic class loading facilities of the Java VM is provided.
