This looks okay to me.

Just a few nits - the comment from AccessibleObject has moved to 
SecurityConstants. I think it would be better to leave the comment in 
AccessibleObject, then you can just comment the SecurityConstants update 
with the class name so that it's consistent with the other constants. 
Also this class uses 4-space indent so best to keep that consistent too.
