Snappy security December 10, 2014

Ubuntu Core with Snappy was recently announced and a key ingredient for snappy is security. Snappy applications are confined by AppArmor and the confinement story for snappy is an evolution of the security model for Ubuntu Touch. The basic concepts for confined applications and the AppStore model pertain to snappy applications as well. In short, snappy applications are confined using AppArmor by default and this is achieved through an easy to understand, use and developer-friendly system. Read the snappy security specification for all the nitty gritty details.

A developer doc will be published soon.
