ABSTRACT:
A small footprint device can securely run multiple programs from unrelated vendors by the inclusion of a context barrier isolating the execution of the programs. The context barrier performs security checks to see that principal and object are within the same namespace or memory space or to see that a requested action is authorized for an object to be operated upon. Each program or set of programs runs in a separate context. Access from one program to another program across the context barrier can be achieved under controlled circumstances by using shared interface objects. Shared interface objects have a property that permits them to be accessed across the context barrier regardless of security restrictions that would otherwise apply. Shared interface objects, however, may enforce their own security rules independently of the context barrier.
