/**

 * This class is for various network permissions.

 * A NetPermission contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but

 * no actions list; you either have the named permission

 * or you don't.

 * <P>

 * The target name is the name of the network permission (see below). The naming

 * convention follows the  hierarchical property naming convention.

 * Also, an asterisk

 * may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to

 * signify a wildcard match. For example: "foo.*" or "*" is valid,

 * "*foo" or "a*b" is not valid.

 * <P>

 * The following table lists all the possible NetPermission target names,

 * and for each provides a description of what the permission allows

 * and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.

 * <P>

 *

 * <table border=1 cellpadding=5 summary="Permission target name, what the permission allows, and associated risks">

 * <tr>

 * <th>Permission Target Name</th>

 * <th>What the Permission Allows</th>

 * <th>Risks of Allowing this Permission</th>

 * <tr>

 *   <td>setDefaultAuthenticator</td>

 *   <td>The ability to set the

 * way authentication information is retrieved when

 * a proxy or HTTP server asks for authentication</td>

 * code can set an authenticator that monitors and steals user

 * authentication input as it retrieves the input from the user.</td>

 * to ask the authenticator registered with the system for

 * a password</td>

 *   <td>specifyStreamHandler</td>

 *   <td>The ability

 * to specify a stream handler when constructing a URL</td>

 *   <td>Malicious code may create a URL with resources that it would

normally not have access to (like file:/foo/fum/), specifying a

stream handler that gets the actual bytes from someplace it does

have access to. Thus it might be able to trick the system into

creating a ProtectionDomain/CodeSource for a class even though

that class really didn't come from that location.</td>
