sandboxing

Sandboxing is the act of creating a hermetic execution environment for a software program, with the aim of limiting its access to resources, or otherwise controlling its behaviour. Sandboxing is a necessary step for handling Turing-complete languages whose behaviour is unknown and potentially untrustworthy, such as any JavaScript downloaded from the internet.
