ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we will find that when it comes to security, creating an object on another machine is not much different than if you were to go to the machine yourself and run a program there. We will find that COM also has a built-in standard that requires an application to have a license to run your object. We will discover that COM can be used to automatically make your object thread safe in exchange for some CPU time. But we start by reviewing how you would go about deriving functionality from some other COM object in your own.
