Abstract
A security scheme provides security to one or more self-contained operating environment instances executing on a computer. The security scheme may include implementing a set of security applications that may be controlled by a supervisory process, or the like. Both the set of security applications and the supervisory process may operate on a host system of the computer, which may also provide a platform for execution of the one or more self-contained operating environments. The security scheme protects processes running in the one or more self-contained operating environment and processes running on the computer outside of the self-contained operating environments.
