Kernel Sandboxing
A security technique that isolates processes from interacting with the operating system kernel to prevent exploitation.
Understanding:
Kernel sandboxing isolates untrusted applications from the OS kernel to prevent security breaches.
Common Applications and Use Cases:
Web Browsers (Chrome, Firefox) – Prevents malware from affecting the OS.
Mobile Security (Android, iOS) – Isolates apps from critical system components.
Virtual Machines (VMs) – Enhances container security.
Best Practices and Security Considerations:
Use Hardened Sandbox Mechanisms – Enforce strong process isolation.
Apply Mandatory Access Controls (SELinux, AppArmor) – Limits app permissions.
Enable Secure Boot & Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) – Ensures system integrity.
