Answer: C
Acceptance of these mechanisms should be based on
established trust. The control is provided by only knowing
the source and then allowing the acceptance of the applets.
Hostile applets can be received from anywhere. It is
virtually impossible to filter at this level at this time. A
secure web connection or firewall are considered external
defenses. A firewall will find it more difficult to filter a
specific file from a trusted source. A secure web connection
provides confidentiality. Neither can identify an executable
as friendly. Hosting the website as part of the organization
is impractical. Enabling the acceptance of Java and/or
Active X is an all or nothing proposition. The client will
accept the program if the parameters are established to do so.
