/**
 * This class is for various network permissions.
 * An SSLPermission contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but
 * no actions list; you either have the named permission
 * or you don't.
 * <P>
 * The target name is the name of the network permission (see below). The naming
 * convention follows the  hierarchical property naming convention.
 * Also, an asterisk
 * may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to
 * signify a wildcard match. For example: "foo.*" and "*" signify a wildcard
 * match, while "*foo" and "a*b" do not.
 * <P>
 * The following table lists all the possible SSLPermission target names,
 * and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
 * and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
 *
 * <table class="striped">
 * <caption style="display:none">permission name, what it allows, and associated risks</caption>

 *
 * <tbody>
 * <tr>
 *   <th scope="row">setHostnameVerifier</th>
 *   <td>The ability to set a callback which can decide whether to
 * allow a mismatch between the host being connected to by
 * an HttpsURLConnection and the common name field in
 * server certificate.
 *  </td>
 *   <td>Malicious
 * code can set a verifier that monitors host names visited by
 * HttpsURLConnection requests or that allows server certificates
 * with invalid common names.
 * </td>
 * </tr>
 *
 * <tr>
 *   <th scope="row">getSSLSessionContext</th>
 *   <td>The ability to get the SSLSessionContext of an SSLSession.

 *   <td>Malicious code may monitor sessions which have been established
 * with SSL peers or might invalidate sessions to slow down performance.
 * </td>
 * </tr>

 * <tr>
 *   <th scope="row">setDefaultSSLContext</th>
 *   <td>The ability to set the default SSL context
