Abstract:
We envision a future where Web, mobile, and desktop applications are delivered as isolated, complete software stacks to a minimal, secure client host. This shift imbues app vendors with full autonomy to maintain their apps’ integrity. Achieving this goal requires shifting complex behavior out of the client platform and into the vendors’ isolated apps. We ported rich, interactive POSIX apps, such as Gimp and Inkscape, to a spartan host platform. We describe this effort in sufficient detail to support reproducibility.
USENIX is committed to Open Access to the research presented at our events. Papers and proceedings are freely available to everyone once the event begins.
