Dear Sir/Madam

I am a developer at British Telecom. My team is currently trying to implement
security features into our upcoming product using JAVA. My questions are:

1. What features are in the current implementation of JAVA, RMI, etc, for
secure network applications? ;

2. What features can one use, in JAVA, for the 2 main security issues in
distributed systems, viz Authorisation & Authentication? ;

3. Can one implement something similar to Kerberos with the current JAVA?

Your answers would be appreciated.

Yours

Tope
