Use Case: Region Script Secruity

Goal in Context:

Regions should be able to control the execution of Scripts brought in by assets of avatars. For example, a secure region inside a firewall should be able to prevent scripts in rez'ed assets from listening to chat or scanning for other avatars. Basically, we need to prevent spying in secure regions.

Scope:

avatar operating inside a "secure" region

Level:

Primary Task

Prrimary Actor:
