GVU's Seventh WWW User Survey Author Graphs

Knowledge of Java Security

Notes:

For this question, authors were asked to rate their knowledge of Java's security measures as: "None at all", "A little (e.g. could list some of them)", "Moderate (e.g. have read the white paper)", "A lot (e.g. have a thorough understanding of flaws recently found)", or "Expert (e.g. have written code to test them) ".

The largest category of user (by a small margin) said that they didn't know anything about Java's security (34.9%). This is a decrease from the last survey where over 45% didn't know anything about Java's security. The next largest category said that they knew "a little" (34.5%).
