20 Oct 2009 : Protecting Java Code - Going Beyond Simple Obfuscation 
While Java offers an efficient framework for developing and deploying
enterprise and Web 2.0 server or client-side applications, it also
presents many risks. Perhaps chief among those risks with Java, being an
interpreted language, is that its bytecode contains highly detailed
metadata making compiled applications easy to reverse engineer, tamper
and pirate. In our discussion we will consider and demonstrate some of
the vulnerabilities and risks along with protection tools to pack when
assessing or implementing Java application security.
