[pypy-dev] Security ideas

[Armin Rigo]

Hi all,

On Monday I was at an inspiring seminar about (a specific form of)
language-level security.  I've collected the PyPy-ification of these
ideas there:

Although the focus is different, it makes me think that we could also
use similar ideas to implement a form of 'rexec' (restricted execution),
with functions compiled by secure() as in the draft above, but running
at a priviledge level which is lower than the default ambiant level
instead of higher.


A bientot,

Armin
