Java brings more functionality and versatility to the world of mobile devices, but it also introduces new security threats. This book is a comprehensive presentation of embedded Java security. It is compared with the security model of the Java 2 Standard Edition in order to view the impact of limited resources on security. The main components of embedded Java are also generally presented to give an idea about the platform architecture. To assess the effectiveness of the security model, an evaluation of the security features is carried out with results presented in the framework of the MEHARI method for risk analysis, and the Common Criteria methodology of security evaluation. The usefulness of this security evaluation is to point out areas that need security hardening. This book provides researchers and practitioners alike with a broader and deeper understanding of the issues involved in embedded Java security, and as a larger view- mobile devices security.

The only complete technical guide to building integrated business systems using the convergent architecture approach
In his groundbreaking Business Engineering with Object Technology (0-471-04521-7), David Taylor introduced the concept of convergent architecture (CA), a framework for building the business design directly into the software systems that support it. Now, in this important follow-up to that 1995 classic, expert Richard Hubert provides systems developers and architects with their first complete blueprint for building integrated CA business systems using the hottest technologies, including Enterprise JavaBeans, XML, UML, Rational Rose, and others. Following a detailed introduction to the elements of CA, he walks readers through the entire CA design and implementation process, using examples in Java and EJB to illustrate key points.
Companion Website provides hands-on tutorials, links to related tool sites, and updates to the CA methodology.

Pro J2ME Polish: Open Source Wireless Java Tools Suite is written for wireless and other mobile Java programmers who want to “polish” their efficiency and acquire in-depth knowledge about programming real-world J2ME applications. It also uncovers all common device limitations and quirks, and explains how these can be circumvented.

The book describes the Open Source tools collection, “J2ME Polish,” and shows how the tools can be used for creating professional J2ME applications. Building multiple devices and multiple locales is easy after studying this book. Author Robert Virkus offers tips about the more hidden features of J2ME Polish, like the logging framework, the preprocessor, and the game-engine. You will learn to polish up your applications with the powerful GUI that enables you to design standard J2ME applications with simple CSS text files. You’ll also learn to write portable, fast applications while using all available features on your target devices simultaneously.

MIDP 2.0 Style Guide for the Java� 2 Platform, Micro Edition, is the comprehensive reference for designing and creating interactive Java� applications for consumer-oriented mobile devices. Readers learn how to best exploit MIDP 2.0 features, such as the gaming API, multimedia, and security for user-friendly MIDlets. Readers who create MIDP environments (MIDP implementors) also learn how to best support developers and users.

This book begins by introducing readers to the unique requirements of the consumer market and to the characteristics of MIDs and the MIDP 2.0 environment. Readers have a first look at the process of designing applications for MIDP in general terms before examining the nuts and bolts of creating usable, predictable applications. The authors provide user interface designers, application developers, and MIDP implementers with clearly illustrated standards for working with screen layouts, lists, text boxes, forms,
alerts, canvas screens, and game screens. Visual examples demonstrate both what does and what does not work. The book ends with the authors’ strategies for improving usability, security, and performance.
