What is Sandboxed API?
The Sandboxed API project (SAPI) aims to make sandboxing of C/C++ libraries less burdensome: after initial setup of security policies and generation of library interfaces, an almost-identical stub API is generated, transparently forwarding calls using a custom RPC layer to the real library running inside a sandboxed environment.
Additionally, each SAPI library utilizes a tightly defined security policy, in contrast to the typical sandboxed project, where security policies must cover the total syscall/resource footprint of all utilized libraries.
