Rainbow is the implementation of the Bitfrost security specification. Rainbow:

  • Negotiates launching activities and creating a secure, minimal environment for their operation inside a 'Container', a way of isolating one activity from another. This includes limiting the scope of Filesystem, Network Access and CPU time that each activity has access to.
  • Creates a means for Updates to happen in a reliable and secure way.
  • Provides interfaces to VServer and other libraries that make the above possible
