Abstract
An access control method for a restricted resource in a computer system having an operating system providing isolation between software processes executable in the operating system such that a first process executing in the operating system is prevented from accessing resources of a second process executing in the operating system, the method including receiving a software component for execution as an isolated process in the operating system; receiving a baseline profile for the software component defining characteristics of the software component at a runtime for identifying performance of the software component; generating a runtime profile of the software component in execution in the operating system defining characteristics of the component in execution; and permitting access by the software component to the restricted resource based on a comparison of the baseline profile and the runtime profile such that the software component exhibiting undesirable performance is precluded from accessing the restricted resource.
