NaCl, which stands for Native Client, is a sandboxing technology developed by Google that allows running native code (written in C or C++) securely in web browsers. The primary goal of NaCl is to enable high-performance applications on the web without losing security. By using NaCl, developers can execute compiled code in a way that the browser can control and restrict its access to the underlying system resources, thus preventing malicious exploits.
