See the below links for more detail.

Contextual security is securing your data and record   using create, read, write, delete functionality.

You can also see how to create ACL in WIKI. Contextual security gives you controlling access on every level.

You need detail understanding on security level and the table structure. Also you need some knowledge on scripting in case you want to do advanced security options.

Hi Prasun

I have gone through the like you, all i want to know what is the diff , this is something not mentioned clearly in the URL, even if we dont enable contextual security , we can secure using ACLs and rows, so does that makes a diff with Contextual security.

TIA
