Description
A host-based boundary protection mechanism is a host-based firewall. Host-based boundary protection mechanisms are employed on mobile devices, such as notebook/laptop computers, and other types of mobile devices where such boundary protection mechanisms are available. Rationale for non-applicability: The requirement for application sandboxing precludes applications from serving as a security boundary for other applications. If an application were granted the ability to perform this function, the application could perform a man-in-the-middle attack on other applications running on the device.
