Abstract
Security implies not only protection from external intrusions but also controlling the actions of internal executing entities. It is very important that the security mechanisms of the application be correct and stable; and that the security code should not be mixed with the application code. Security is an added feature defining constraints on object interactions. So it is possible to use the separation of concerns and transparency, typical reflection features, to split a secure system into two levels: the application, and the authorization system.
