It really depends on what you mean by security. It's quite tricky to
do this on the client given the very nature of what openlayers does
(ie makes asynchronous requests to open web servers), so most
security (eg limiting requests by IP address, limiting which layers
can be viewed by clients is handled on the server side.
Cheers,
