public final class SecurityPermission
extends BasicPermission
This class is for security permissions. A SecurityPermission contains a name but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.

Name is the name of a security configuration parameter. Currently the SecurityPermission object is used to guard access to the Identity object, and to the Security object. The Identity object is used to implement the digital signature identity database.

To request permission to make changes in the Identity object, create a SecurityPermission with the name of the directive. Directives known by the base JDK are "set.public.key", "set.info", "add.certificate", "remove.certificate", "print".
