Sun JRE security vulnerability as opposed to Jinitiator
Hi, I support a forms based application in extremely secure environment.
Currently we still use Jinitiator. Application Serer 10.0.1.2, Jinitiator 1.3.1.22
Some of the users are moving to Windows 7 and so we have to provide and alternative of Sun JRE.
Business Security experts have asked me to explain the the differences between Sun JRE and Jinitiator. Their main concern is what possible security vulnerabilities could we introduce into the environment by using Sun JRE. I explained that the Jinitiator was based on JRE 1.3 and JRE 1.6 + would be a much better product than JRE 1.3. Their response was that they need to see published documents supporting my arguement. They also asked what extra functionality does JRE 1.6 have over JRE 1.3 (ie Jinitiator).
