03.13.13 Mobile Code

Statement

• a. Define acceptable mobile code and mobile code technologies.

• b. Authorize, monitor, and control the use of mobile code.

Guidance

Mobile code includes software programs or parts of programs that are obtained from remote systems, transmitted across a network, and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution by the recipient. Decisions regarding the use of mobile code are based on the potential for the code to cause damage to the system if used maliciously. Mobile code technologies include Java applets, JavaScript, HTML5, VBScript, and WebGL. Usage restrictions and implementation guidelines apply to the selection and use of mobile code installed on servers and downloaded and executed on individual workstations and devices, including notebook computers, smart phones, and smart devices. Mobile code policies and procedures address the actions taken to prevent the development, acquisition, and use of unacceptable mobile code within the system, including requiring mobile code to be digitally signed by a trusted source.
