Abstract
A sandbox tool can cooperate with components of a secure operating system to create an isolated execution environment for accessing content without exposing other processes and resources of the computing system to the untrusted content. The sandbox tool can create the isolated execution environment with an assigned security context of the secure operating system. The security context can define the security policies applied by the operating system to the isolated execution environment, thereby, defining the levels of access the isolated execution environment has to the resources of the computing system.
