34 * This class is for Serializable permissions. A SerializablePermission
35 * contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but
36 * no actions list; you either have the named permission
37 * or you don't.
38 *
39 * <P>
40 * The target name is the name of the Serializable permission (see below).
41 *
42 * <P>
43 * The following table lists the standard {@code SerializablePermission} target names,
44 * and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
45 * and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.

64 * deserialize classes in a purposefully malfeasant manner. For example,
65 * during serialization, malicious code can use this to
66 * purposefully store confidential private field data in a way easily accessible
