Newbie Question about what constitutes applet security risk ?

As an applet designer ... how do I research what parts of Java API I can use
to generate a "safe" applet.

I want my applet to play streaming video and audio.

If your applet isn't going to be signed, then there is nothing you
can code that won't be safe.
