It's not the walk() method that requires a permission, but the creation of the StackWalker itself (hence my suggestion to create it in the constructor, or in a static initializer). If you walk the stack from within a doPrivileged call then the doPrivileged frame will appear in the returned `List<StackFrame>`; this may (or may not) be OK - depending on the logic that processes the stack.

Thanks.  I was going to step through this code more thoroughly today, hopefully I would have caught that.  

This code is only needed in certain deployment and Cipher creation situations, so would rather not create a static CodeWalker that is not normally used.
