Abstract:
1. A method comprising: initializing an administrative partition on a partitioned host; receiving a request to initialize an application-specific temporary partition for an application on the partitioned host; dynamically initializing and configuring the application-specific temporary partition with a unique, application-specific security policy in response to the request to initialize the application-specific temporary partition, wherein the unique, application-specific security policy enables the temporary partition to participate as a node in a mesh network having minimal security that comprises a plurality interconnected, self-configuring nodes, each node of the mesh network being configurable to relay communications between other nodes to facilitate node-to-node communications within the mesh network; maintaining a security boundary between the administrative partition and the temporary partition; allocating basic system resources and application specific resources to the temporary partition; eliminating the temporary partition after the application has completed execution; and releasing the basic system resources and the application specific resources.
