Abstract
This paper describes the motivation for application restrictions and sandboxes, presenting an in-depth review of the literature covering existing systems. This is the most comprehensive review of the field to date. The paper outlines the broad categories of existing application-oriented access control schemes, such as isolation and rule-based schemes, and discusses their limitations. Adoption of these schemes has arguably been impeded by workflow, policy complexity, and usability issues. The paper concludes with a discussion on areas for future work, and points a way forward within this developing field of research with recommendations for usability and abstraction to be considered to a further extent when designing application-oriented access controls.
