Robert Watson, Jonathan Anderson and Ben Laurie are the principle 'who' behind Capsicum. Now, if you'ld asked 'What is that?' I'd've pointed you towards https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/ It's a "lightweight OS capability and sandbox framework," or in other words a way of enforcing restrictions on what objects -- particularly those built from foreign data eg. javascript in web pages -- can modify or access on your local system.
