Days have come when there is a greater need for enhancing the Application-level security for providing the safe execution of code within the environment. From the past we have learnt about the hazardous situation that have aroused from the software failure inside the environment causing the loss of important data and environmental damage to a very large extent, sometimes even an operating environment may also crash. Largely known factors of this type are virus, worms, backdoors etc. in the operating systems. Similar examples include the software damage causing the buffer overflow code injections, null pointer access, memory leaks, arithmetic or other exceptions like algorithmic invariants among which some of the assignments causing severe damage to the operating environment like Operating System. Some researchers try to provide a solution but only after the software has been installed and usually focused on static boundaries that are not likely to change over time but as we move on installing, memory is consumed and so the efficiency of the operating system decreases eg. Internet Explorer hanging the whole system. The proposed work aims at providing a secure platform like a trusted computing base for the application execution so that it does no damage to the environment.
