Sandbox

A system that allows an untrusted application to run in a highly controlled environment where the application’s permissions are restricted to an essential set of computer permissions. In particular, an application in a sandbox is usually restricted from accessing the file system or the network. A widely used example of applications running inside a sandbox is a Java applet.
