...Instead of relying solely on broad OS-level permissions, it focuses on isolating workloads by tightly controlling the boundary where code interacts with host services and system resources. The design emphasizes interoperability across different integration layers, describing a separation between “North” shims (how apps or runtimes plug in) and “South” platforms (where the sandbox runs), which helps the system adapt to multiple deployment contexts. A key aspect of the project is that it targets both kernel-mode and user-mode scenarios, enabling experimentation with different trust and performance tradeoffs. The repository positions LiteBox as a foundation for building hardened execution environments where untrusted or semi-trusted components can run with reduced privileges and a minimized host interface.
