Abstract

In one embodiment, a mechanism to implement security in process-based virtualization is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes maintaining a security policy for a process-based virtualization system, initializing a virtual machine (VM) in the process-based virtualization system, assigning a security label to the VM, and enforcing the security policy on the VM based on the security label of the VM in order to isolate the VM from other VM's in the process-based virtualization system.
