Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for an isolated security domain which is a bounded area of the VM for protected objects. The objects are software units (including executable code data), hardware units (e.g., ports) or a combination thereof. The secure units in this area are accessible using secure rules used to ensure that objects are not malware. Authentication for connections to security domain is required and certain areas of the domain are made to be read only.
