## Description

The `SecurityManager` class provides a way of implementing a comprehensive security policy for a Java program. As of this writing, `SecurityManager` objects are used primarily by Web browsers to establish security policies for applets. However, the use of a `SecurityManager` object is appropriate in any situation where a hosting environment wants to limit the actions of hosted programs.

The `SecurityManager` class contains methods that are called by methods in other classes to ask for permission to do something that can affect the security of the system. These permission methods all have names that begin with `check`. If a `check` method does not permit an action, it throws a `SecurityException` or returns a value that indicates the lack of permission. The `SecurityManager` class provides default implementations of all of the `check` methods. These default implementations are the most restrictive possible implementations; they simply deny permission to do anything that can affect the security of the system.

The `SecurityManager` class is an `abstract` class. A hosting environment should define a subclass of `SecurityManager` that implements an appropriate security policy. To give the subclass of `SecurityManager` control over security, the hosting environment creates an instance of the class and installs it by passing it to the `setSecurityManager()` method of the `System` class. Once a `SecurityManager` object is installed, it cannot be changed. If the `setSecurityManager()` method is called any additional times, it throws a `SecurityException`.

The methods in other classes that want to ask the `SecurityManager` for permission to do something are able to access the `SecurityManager` object by calling the `getSecurityManager()` method of the `System` class. This method returns the `SecurityManager` object, or `null` to indicate that there is no `SecurityManager` installed.

## Variables

### inCheck

#### `protected boolean inCheck = false`

Description

  This variable indicates whether or not a security check is in progress. A subclass of `SecurityManager` should set this variable to `true` while a security check is in progress.

  This variable can be useful for security checks that require access to resources that a hosted program may not be permitted to access. For example, a security policy might be based on the contents of a permissions file. This means that the various `check` methods need to read information from a file to decide what to do. Even though a hosted program may not be allowed to read files, the `check` methods can allow such reads when `inCheck` is `true` to support this style of security policy.

## Constructors

  An implementation-dependent object that contains enough information about the current execution environment to perform security checks at a later time.

Description

  This method is meant to create an object that encapsulates information about the current execution environment. The resulting security context object is used by specific versions of the `checkConnect()` and `checkRead()` methods. The intent is that such a security context object can be used by a trusted method to determine whether or not another, untrusted method can perform a particular operation.
