Is Cocoa really secure?
I mean I'm starting to realise that Cocoa is built as a loosely
interconnected series of objects. It allows for fantastic modifications
(Unsanity APE), but doesn't it also mean that no Object can be sure of the
security of any other object?
What is to stop a malicious programmer from writing an object to masquerade
as internal to my application and I then pass authority/information to it?
It just seems to me that no object can be sure:
A. it is not being observed.
B. it is really talking to another "secure" object (System internal or
application internal)
And similar question:
C. Can other applications just pick the data from inside your apps object?
Feel free to correct me here,
Adam
Ps I understand that object transparency is advantageous in most
circumstances...
