Desaware In The NewsTesting Code Access Security.NET Developers Journal, October 7, 2003 Article Excerpt: When developing COM or API-based applications, you knew that once your software was installed on a system, it had access to the full resources of that system. Yes, you may have had to worry about security with regard to the account running the software, but only some system resources were protected in that manner. But with .NET, this changes. It is very possible that the system on which your software is running will restrict what your program can do. When a program is restricted in this manner it is said to be running in partial trust. Nowadays most .NET applications require full trust to run. This means that they either have to be installed on the local system, or the local system must set its policy to allow that application to run. But this is a limited solution, as most clients won't want to change their policies (and may not know how to do so). And if they do, they will want to grant the minimum rights required for your program to run - not full trust (because not only does full trust grant your program the right to do anything on their system, it potentially allows other programs to use your program maliciously to invade their system if you have flaws in your security programming)."
