LiteBox

A security-focused library OS

[!NOTE]

This project is currently actively evolving and improving. While we are

working toward a stable release, some APIs and interfaces may change as the

design continues to mature. You are welcome to explore and experiment, but if

you need long-term stability, it may be best to wait for a stable release, or

be prepared to adapt to updates along the way.

LiteBox is a sandboxing library OS that drastically cuts down the interface to the host, thereby reducing attack surface. It focuses on easy interop of various "North" shims and "South" platforms. LiteBox is designed for usage in both kernel and non-kernel scenarios.

LiteBox exposes a Rust-y nix/rustix-inspired "North" interface when it is provided a Platform interface at its "South". These interfaces allow for a wide variety of use-cases, easily allowing for connection between any of the North--South pairs.

Example use cases include:

• Running unmodified Linux programs on Windows
• Sandboxing Linux applications on Linux
• Run programs on top of SEV SNP
• Running OP-TEE programs on Linux
• Running on LVBS
