That seems unusable and in practice would rapidly degenerate into a "try everything in my bag" call wrapper. A capability both designates a resource and authorizes use of it. Using the capability to designate the resource means that you don’t need a “by what authority” parameter. ________________________ Alan Karp Principal Scientist Enterprise Services, Office of the CTO Hewlett-Packard Company 1501 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 1 (650) 386-4568 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Alan_Karp _______________________________________________ cap-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.eros-os.org/mailman/listinfo/cap-talk
