What is Garbage Collection?
Garbage Collection (GC) provides automatic memory management
in Java. It eliminates manual allocation and deallocation. This
prevents memory leaks and reduces runtime errors. GC manages
heap memory dynamically.

JVM Memory Architecture
The JVM Memory Architecture has heap and non-heap regions. It
uses Young and Old Generation concepts. Memory allocation and
reclamation impact performance.

Heap
Stores objects.

Young Generation
New objects are created here.

Old Generation
Long-lived objects reside here.
JVM Security Architecture
The JVM has a multi-layered security model, including bytecode verification. It uses a class loader hierarchy and
runtime security constraints. These features ensure application security.

Runtime Constraints
Bytecode Verification
Bytecode verification prevents malicious code execution, using
static and dynamic techniques. It checks for type safety and code
integrity. This prevents buffer overflows and unauthorized access.

Sandboxing in Java
Sandboxing restricts application access to system resources. It utilizes Security Manager implementations.
Permissions and access control isolate potentially unsafe code.

Comparison with C++
Memory Management
C++ uses manual memory management, while Java uses
automatic. There are performance trade-offs between the two.
Manual handling leads to security vulnerabilities. Java provides
built-in safety mechanisms.
C++: Manual

Java: Automatic

Java: Secure
Real-World Security
Applications
JVM security is used in enterprise software, web application
protection, and mobile environments. It secures financial and
healthcare systems. These implementations demonstrate real-
world applications.

Conclusion: JVM's Security
and Performance
The JVM offers comprehensive memory management. It features
built-in security protections. Continuous improvements are made
to the JVM. Future trends focus on better memory management
and security.
