OS_type: unix
SystemRequirements: linux (>= 3.0), libapparmor-dev (optional)
Description: Bindings to various methods in the kernel for enforcing security
restrictions on a given task (process). AppArmor can apply mandatory access
control (MAC) policies via security profiles which contain detailed access
control definitions. In addition this package supports setting hardware
limits (rlimit), uid, gid, affinity and priority of the process, directly
from within R. The high level function 'eval.secure' builds on these methods
to support dynamic sandboxing: it evaluates an R expression within a temporary
fork which acts as a sandbox by enforcing fine grained security restrictions
and hardware limits, yet without side effects on the main R session.
