I have a site A and site B. Site B has a domain mask to Site A such that contents of Site A are visible at Site B.
Site B contains only a .htaccess -file.
Do I need other files besides .htaccess at the site B?

A:
If all requests to site B are mapped to an equivalent request at Site A, then no, you don't.

So a .htaccess is enough, and I do not need any other files. Do I need to put an empty index.html to Site B for security?

No. What would that secure? http://siteb.foo/ is being mapped to http://sitea.foo/; no one's going to be able to get a generated index of siteb's contents, and anyway there's nothing to secure.

Even if they asked for your .htaccess, and the request were allowed (Apache ships with requests to .ht* denied ever since SO user Jason Coco submitted a patch for it circa 1998), they'd only get site A's, if any.
