Following is a brief description of OSGi Security. OSGi Security is based on Java Security Architecture. It allows applications to deploy bundles which should run in sand-boxed environments. The concept is very similar to running un-trusted applets in the browser.
OSGi bundles have associated set of permissions. These permissions are checked through Security Manager(Equinox specific) when a bundle is about to access certain resources. Permissions of bundles can be managed by ConditionalPermissionAdmin OSGi service which comes with OSGi framework. And also it is possible to associate "Conditions" with a set of permissions. And these conditions can be based on bundle location or bundle signer. When it comes to applying OSGi Security to applications, there are several ways mentioned in the specification. Therefore I would like to have discussion on this to find the most suitable way to apply OSGi Security for WSO2 Carbon. WDYT?
