I disagree, the JRE is a virtual machine; if not for the OS, how would you protect against it? Isn’t the OS itself responsible for authorizing whether the invocation of the JRE process is authorized, rather than the virtual machine itself?
Are there any comparable virtual machines that require signed bytecode by default? I’ve personally never heard of it, most of the time it’s verified when the package is downloaded, rather than when it’s executed.
