                          The JavaRes List Charter

Javares is a mailing list for discussion of resource accounting and
limitations for the Java language and virtual machine. 

The Java security model ensures the security of information, but it
does not address the robust execution of untrusted code. It is quite
possible for untrusted code to mount a denial-of-service attack, where
it uses so much of a given resource that the VM in which it is
executing is rendered unusable. Typical resources that are consumed
are CPU time, memory, and system threads, but other limited resources
may be consumed.

This list was formed to discuss this problem, and work together toward
a solution.  It is a public discussion forum that is open to all
interested parties.

This mailing list is publically archived. Archives are available at
