Abstract
This chapter discusses two relatively new security features found in OS X: application signing and sandbox. These technologies were both introduced with Mac OS 10.5 and provide new facilities that help to improve the security outlook of the platform. Incidentally, both of these technologies are also heavily utilized by Apple’s newest platform that you’ve undoubtedly heard of: the iPhone OS.
