[thelist] Java Applets - More Secure?

[Mark Cheng]

Hi Evolters,

Question on the use of Java applets.  I've recently been
told that Java applets enable highler levels of security
(they weren't clear whether it was at the browser,
transmission or server).  Is this true?

Also, I know that we block java applets at our firewall for
security reasons - is this a widespread practice or are we
just being paranoid?

TIA
