For the longest time I’ve been talking about Silverlight’s sandboxing abilities by saying something like;
- “There are 3 different kinds of applications with Silverlight”
- In Browser
- Out of Browser
- Trusted Out of Browser
and I’ve always been able to say that the first two run in the same strong security sandbox while the last one runs in a weakened security sandbox and only after the user has explicitly granted the application the permission to do so having been warned ( using one of two dialogs depending on the application’s signature ) that the application could be malicious.
