    Greetings,
    
    I am looking for comparisons/white papers on the _security_  implications
    with programming in ActiveX on top of C & C++, Java, C, and C++ for
    applications that are not browser based.  The following URLs that I have
    found thus far are more oriented to browsers.
    
    The only things that I have found so far are:
    http://www.rl.af.mil/div/IFB/sbir/abstracts98/SBIR_abstract134a.html 
    http://www.sunworld.com/swol-09-1996/swol-09-activex.html 
    http://www.javaworld.com/jw-09-1996/jw-09-blundon.html 
    These are mostly based on browser:
    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/sip/java-vs-activex.html
    http://packetstorm.securify.com/papers/java/compsec97.html
    http://www.ibm.com/java/education/untrusted.html
    
    I will refrain from presenting my own opinions, but will ask the wizards.
    
    TIA,
    Jim
