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.
Installing
To install Rainbow:
- Enable the OLPC-temp repository by editing /etc/yum.repos.d/olpc-tmp.repo (temporary until packages drift upstream)
- yum install rainbow which installs Rainbow along with its dependencies like pyvserver, python-sqlalchemy, etc.
To enable Rainbow:
- Touch the file /etc/olpc-security
To disable Rainbow:
- Delete the file /etc/olpc-security
Resources
