 | | Computer security failures are widespread, and often the weakest link in the security chain is the human. |
 | | By partitioning the computer, if a virus, for example, infects a role, only the data in the infected role will be vulnerable rather than the whole computer as is common today. |
 | | Chameleon is inspired by previous work on sandboxing, partitioning, role-based access control, and compartmented-moded workstations; however, it starts not with security mechanisms but with making the security features intelligible, convenient, and usable to a broad group of users. |
