Patent 10135842 was granted and assigned to Microsoft on November, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The subject disclosure is directed towards securing a computing device using content-based isolation. When the computing device requests content data having different ownership, a monitor component identifies and groups trusted portions of the content data into one or more isolation containers such that only trusted programs are permitted access. Other programs are, therefore, untrusted and can be denied access in order to prevent malicious activity, unless access is approved by the content owner.
