Privilege separation: Art, Implementation & Examples

In computer programming and computer security, privilege separation (privsep) is one software-based technique for implementing the principle of least privilege. With privilege separation, a program is divided into parts which are limited to the specific privileges they require in order to perform a specific task. This is used to mitigate the potential…
