/**
* This class is for Serializable permissions. A SerializablePermission
* 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 Serializable permission (see below).
*
* <P>
* The following table lists all the possible SerializablePermission target names,
* and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
* and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.

* <tr>
* <td>enableSubclassImplementation</td>
* <td>Subclass implementation of ObjectOutputStream or ObjectInputStream
* to override the default serialization or deserialization, respectively,
* of objects</td>
* <td>Code can use this to serialize or
* deserialize classes in a purposefully malfeasant manner. For example,
* during serialization, malicious code can use this to
* purposefully store confidential private field data in a way easily accessible
* to attackers. Or, during deserialization it could, for example, deserialize
* a class with all its private fields zeroed out.</td>
* </tr>
*
* <tr>
* <td>enableSubstitution</td>
* <td>Substitution of one object for another during
* serialization or deserialization</td>
