Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention is related to a computer system including compartments implemented on an operating system. A database contains access rules with the access rules defining which compartments are authorized to access particular file resources. A kernel module receives a system call to access a file from a user space application belonging to a compartment. A security module determines whether the user space application is authorized to access the file utilizing access rules stored in the database.
