ABSTRACT:
A access control mechanism is provided on a computing device to allow an application provider to set up a declarative security policy specific to an application module. When a runtime environment of the computing device receives a request from a second application instance in a second execution context to access a protected resource in a first application instance, the runtime environment invokes the access control mechanism to determine, based on a protection-domain-level domain security policy, whether the second application instance is allowed to access protected resources in the first execution context. If so, the runtime environment invokes the access control mechanism to determine, based on a declarative security policy for a first application module associated with the first application instance, whether the second application instance is allowed to access the protected resource. If so, the runtime environment allows the second application instance access to the protected resource requested.
