Sandboxing .NET Assemblies for Fun, Profit and of Course Security

Explore the concept of sandboxing .NET assemblies to enhance application security in this 54-minute conference talk from NDC Porto 2022. Delve into the challenges and benefits of using third-party libraries in .NET development, and learn how to mitigate potential security risks. Discover how to create a restricted sandbox using AssemblyLoadContext in .NET Core, limiting the functionality available to external modules. Compare this approach to other technologies like WebAssembly's nano-process concept, and understand how it differs from deprecated methods such as AppDomains and Code-Access Security (CAS). Gain valuable insights into improving your application's security posture while still leveraging the productivity benefits of third-party libraries.
