Description
The operating system isolates security functions from non-security functions by means of an isolation boundary (implemented via partitions and domains) controlling access to and protecting the integrity of the hardware, software, and firmware that perform those security functions. The operating system maintains a separate execution domain (e.g., address space) for each executing process.
