Abstract
Security is an increasing concern for businesses. The .NET Framework is designed to allow distributed applications across the Internet. This concept introduces a slew of security risks. Microsoft realizes these risks and has introduced new security functionality that is incorporated in the .NET Framework. This chapter is not meant to completely cover implementing security but rather to describe the functionality that is available and how to use it. The .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) always performs a security check—called code access security—on an assembly if it wants to access a protected resource or operation. The most important security feature is security policies that not only allow one to create code groups but also to build his or her own permission set that can be enriched with custom permissions. The custom permissions can be added to the .NET Framework without opening up the security system, provided that one makes no security mistakes in the coding of the permissions.
