Class Loader: In the context of programming languages like Java, a class loader is part of the runtime environment, responsible for finding and loading class files as required by the program. It plays a crucial role in Java’s security model, as it’s responsible for loading (or linking) classes in a secure manner from local file systems, network locations, or other sources. The class loader’s security measures are critical in preventing unauthorized access to sensitive resources.
